Measurement of turbulent kinetic energy with colour Doppler echocardiography and particle tracing velocimetry in an ex-vivo aortic stenosis model
In this ex-vivo AS model, both TKE measurement methods successfully differentiated severe from non-severe AS. These findings underscore the potential importance of ultrasound colour Doppler echocardiography in estimating energy loss through turbulence, paving the way for the development of a new diagnostic tool for grading AS severity.
