  • Study on Downstream Flow Field Uniformity of Aortic Stenosis by Using Pulse Wave Doppler Echocardiography

    ObjectiveBy comparing the difference between different stenosed degree of aortic valve in flow field uniformity and turbulent shear stress (TSS), to explore the relation between flow field uniformity and different stenosed degree of aortic valve, and probe the clinical value for deciding the operation timing, and analyze the possible role of TSS in the progress of the disease.MethodsThe flow field uniformity values and TSS in parasternal long axis plane and apical five cavity plane on each point were measured and calculated by pulse wave Doppler echocardiography technique for 33 patients with different stenosed degree of aortic valve.ResultsThere were significant difference between the different stenosed degree of aortic valve in maximal velocity difference(ΔV max )and TSS( P lt;0.05, 0.01). The more severe the aortic stenosis was, the worse the flow field uniformity was, the lower the TSS was.ConclusionsThere are significant difference between the patients of different stenosed degree of aortic valve in flow field uniformity. Flow field uniformity has important value in classifying the degree of aortic stenosis and deciding the timing of operation. The more severe the aortic stenosis is ,the lower TSS is. It can be thought that low TSS distribution has important role in pathological process of constriction in cardiovascular system diseases.
