Echocardiography of the aortic valve. I. Studies of normal aortic valve, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and mixed aortic valve disease.

Abstract

Aortic valve echocardiography was performed in 1oS subjects: 30 were healthy persons, 40 were patients with non-valvar heart disease, and 35 patients had isolated aortic valve disease. In the group with diseased aortic valves, the findings were correlated with observations at catheterization and in most cases at operation or necropsy.
