1 Paradoxical low flow and/or low gradient severe aortic stenosis despite preserved left ventricular ejection fraction: implications for diagnosis and treatment by Jean G.

2 Illustrative case of patient with PLF AS. (A) Pulse wave (PW) Doppler tracing in LV outflow tract; ITV, time velocity integral; VE, stroke volume; FE, ejection fraction; SVi, stroke volume index.

3 Characterization of 512 consecutive patients with severe AS (AVAi 0.50) based on for SVi > or ≤35 mL/m2 and mean pressure gradient > or ≤40 mmHg (data taken from Hachicha et al.2). Jean G.

4 Overall survival in the four groups of patients (Figure 2) as a function of the type of treatment: medical vs. surgical (data taken from Hachicha et al.2). Jean G. Dumesnil et al.
