More on the session

Learning objectives:

  • To recognise and accurately diagnose aortic stenosis using key clinical and echocardiographic findings; 
  • To identify challenging aortic stenosis presentations, including discordant and low-flow, low-gradient disease; 
  • To understand the role of a multidisciplinary heart team in optimising treatment decision-making; 
  • To apply a structured patient pathway from diagnosis through treatment planning;
  • To implement appropriate post-procedural imaging and follow-up to monitor valve performance and long-term outcomes
