Changes in various parameters of stenosis severity have been used to differentiate between TS and PS AS during DSE. However, the magnitude of these changes lacks standardization because they are dependent on the variable magnitude of the transvalvular flow change occurring during DSE.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            The use of EOA\n            <jats:sub>proj<\/jats:sub>\n            to differentiate TS from PS AS was investigated in an in vitro model and in 23 patients with low-flow AS (indexed EOA &lt;0.6 cm\n            <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n            \/m\n            <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n            , left ventricular ejection fraction \u226440%) undergoing DSE and subsequent aortic valve replacement. For an individual valve, EOA was plotted against transvalvular flow (Q) at each dobutamine stage, and valve compliance (VC) was derived as the slope of the regression line fitted to the EOA versus Q plot; EOA\n            <jats:sub>proj<\/jats:sub>\n            was calculated as EOA\n            <jats:sub>proj<\/jats:sub>\n            =EOA\n            <jats:sub>rest<\/jats:sub>\n            +VC\u00d7(250\u2212Q\n            <jats:sub>rest<\/jats:sub>\n            ), where EOA\n            <jats:sub>rest<\/jats:sub>\n            and Q\n            <jats:sub>rest<\/jats:sub>\n            are the EOA and Q at rest.
