Correlates of the ratio of acceleration time to ejection time in patients with aortic stenosis: An echocardiographic and computed tomography study.

CONCLUSIONS: The AT/ET ratio is related to echocardiographic and CT-AVC indices of AS severity. However, multiple intricate factors beyond the haemodynamic and anatomical severity of AS influence the AT/ET ratio, including LV geometry, function and systolic blood pressure. These findings should be considered when assessing the AT/ET ratio in patients with AS and preserved LVEF.
