May support CT calcium scoring as adjunct for AS grading; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Does multislice CT provide reproducible 3D volume quantification of aortic valve calcification that correlates with echocardiographic severity in patients with aortic valve calcification?
Multislice CT provides a highly reproducible method for 3D quantification of aortic valve calcification that correlates well with echocardiographic severity of aortic stenosis.
