Over the last two decades, the differentiation of severe from non-severe aortic valve stenosis with echocardiography has become more complex. Low flow can result in low gradient and, thereby, mask severe aortic stenosis. The consideration of flow is now frequently essential to evaluate haemodynamic stenosis severity.
