Overview
When severe systolic and/or diastolic myocardial dysfunction coexist with aortic stenosis, there is a decrease in the flow through the valve leading to a prominent decrease in the transvalvular gradient, a condition referred to as low flow low gradient aortic stenosis (LF-LG AS). LF-LG AS with is defined as:
- An aortic valve areas < 1.0 cm2, and
- A mean pressure difference or gradient across the aortic valve of < 40 mm Hg
Management
Shown below is an algorithm of the management of low flow, low gradient aortic stenosis.[1]
Ultrasound evaluation of aortic stenosis Effective orifice area (EOA)≤ 1 cm2 Pressure gradient (ΔP)<40 mmHg | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Low grade low flow aortic stenosis | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Normal left ventricular ejection fraction | Left ventricular ejection fraction≤ 40-50%[2] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
No specific recommendations: - Surgical AVR, or - Transcather AVR, or - Medical treatment | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Dobutamine stress test | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Increase in stroke volume by ≥ 20% | Increase in stroke volume by <20% | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Presence of left ventricular flow reserve | Absence of left ventricular flow reserve | ||||||||||||||||||||||
ΔP≥40 EOA<1-1.2 | ΔP<40 EOA≥1-1.2 | EOA<1-1.2 | |||||||||||||||||||||
True severe aortic stenosis | Pseudo-severe aortic stenosis | True severe aortic stenosis | |||||||||||||||||||||
Surgical AVR with/without CABG | Medical treatment Close follow up | Transcather AVR | |||||||||||||||||||||
