Valvular heart disease (VHD) has been a significant health problem, particularly in developed countries, in relation to the aging population. Recent developments in the management of VHD require a more accurate assessment of disease severity to determine the need for transcatheter interventions or open heart surgery.

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