4 Most Common Errors In Evaluating Aortic Valve Velocity
4 Most Common Errors We Make In Evaluating Aortic Valve Velocity In Echocardiography I don’t know about you, but aortic stenosis cases seem to be my bread and butter. It seems like I see more patients with aortic stenosis than any other pathology. Granted, some of that may be attributed to the the region where my echo lab is located of course. Regardless, aortic stenosis … [Read more...] about 4 Most Common Errors In Evaluating Aortic Valve Velocity
Normal Stroke Volume (Plus The 3 Things That Affect Stroke Volume)
