Overview

May support multimodality imaging when echocardiography is inconclusive for aortic stenosis; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does multimodality imaging improve the diagnosis and assessment of aortic stenosis severity compared to standard 2D echocardiography?

P
Population
Patients with aortic stenosis (AS)
I
Intervention
Multimodality imaging

Comparator
Standard 2D echocardiography
O
Outcome
Diagnosis and assessment of aortic stenosis severity

Multimodality imaging is a valuable adjunct to standard 2D echocardiography for refining the diagnosis and severity assessment of aortic stenosis in complex cases.
