Relationship between peak aortic jet velocity and progression of aortic stenosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis

The natural history of aortic stenosis (AS) progression, especially before severe AS development, is not well documented. We aimed to investigate the time course of peak aortic jet velocity (Vmax) and AS progression risk according to baseline Vmax, particularly whether there is a Vmax threshold.
