ACCEL Lite: Low-Flow, Low-Gradient AS: When Is it Severe?

<p>Severe aortic stenosis may go unrecognized, and therefore untreated, in the setting of a low gradient, even if all data point to the existence of a low-flow, low-gradient state and a severe degree of stenosis. In this interview, Mirvat Alasnag, MB, BCH, FACC; Patricia Pellikka, MD, FACC; and Matt Cavender, MD, MPH, FACC, discuss when low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis is considered severe.
