Two Studies Assess Echocardiography Evaluation Performance, Relationship Between Markers of Early LV Dysfunction and Mortality in Aortic Regurgitation

American College of Cardiology

NOVEMBER 19, 2024

American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines for echocardiographic evaluation of aortic regurgitation (AR) were found to â€œdisplay very good performanceâ€ in detecting significant AR, according to a study published Nov. 13 in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.
