A prospective analysis of the correlation between ultrasonic B-lines, cardiac tissue doppler signals and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Assessing lung ultrasonic B-lines is a straightforward and practical approach to identifying pulmonary oedema in AS patients. The number of B-lines correlated with the E/E' ratio and the functional status of patients but did not correlate with invasive LVEDP or LVEF. All patients had elevated LVEDP that correlated with E/E'.
