Clinical Usefulness of Pressure Recovery Adjustment in Patients with Predominantly Severe Aortic Stenosis: Asian Valve Registry Data

Adjustment for pressure recovery (PR) may reconcile discrepancies in pressure gradients measured by Doppler echocardiography and direct catheterization in patients with mild to moderately severe aortic stenosis (AS). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether PR adjustment is useful in a large cohort of predominantly patients with severe AS.
