    This study provides reference data for normally functioning eccentric monocuspid aortic prosthetic valves using 2D-Doppler Echocardiography. Findings highlight variations in peak gradient and systolic time intervals across different valve sizes, crucial for accurate patient follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Echocardiography

    Context:

    • Aortic prosthetic valves are crucial for patients with aortic valve disease.
    • Assessing the function of these valves requires reliable reference data.
    • 2D-Doppler Echocardiography is a key imaging modality for this assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To establish a reference data list for flow analysis in normally functioning eccentric monocuspid aortic prosthetic valves.
    • To analyze aortic flow velocity and systolic time intervals in patients with these prostheses.

    Summary:

    • 61 patients with Bjork-Shiley and Hall-Kaster aortic prostheses were evaluated using 2D-Doppler Echocardiography.
    • Peak velocity, peak gradient, and systolic time intervals (PEP/ET, AT/ET) were analyzed.

  • Mild regurgitation was detected in 32.7% of cases, and significant differences in peak gradient were observed between valve sizes.

    • Impact:

    • Provides essential reference values for the follow-up of patients with eccentric monocuspid aortic prosthetic valves.
    • Highlights the importance of considering valve size when interpreting 2D-Doppler Echocardiography findings.
    • Contributes to improved clinical assessment and management of patients with prosthetic aortic valves.
