The aortic valve area index (AVAI) in aortic stenosis (AS) is measured by echocardiography with a continuity equation using the stroke volume index by Doppler (SVIDoppler) or biplane Simpson (SVIBiplane) method. AVAIDopplerand AVAIBiplaneoften show discrepancy due to differences between SVIDopplerand SVIBiplane. The degree of discrepancy and utility of combined AVAIs have not been investigated in a large population of AS patients, and the characteristics of subjects with larger discrepancies

All-cause death and aortic valve replacement were defined as events. SVIDopplerwas significantly larger than SVIBiplane(49±11 vs. 39±11 mL/m2, P<0.01) and AVAIDopplerwas larger than AVAIBiplane(0.51±0.15 vs. 0.41±0.14 cm2/m2, P<0.01). An increase in (AVAIDoppler- AVAIBiplane) correlated with shorter height, lower weight, older age, smaller left ventricular (LV) diameter and increased velocity of ejection flow at the LV outflow tract. Severe AS by AVAIDoppleror AVAIBiplaneenabled prediction of events, and combining these AVAIs improved the predictive value of each. Discrepancy in AVAI by Doppler vs. biplane method was significantly more pronounced with increased LV outflow tract flow velocity, shorter height, lower weight, older age and smaller LV cavity dimensions. Combining the AVAIs enabled mutual and incremental value in predicting events.
