Fig. 2A —Moderate aortic regurgitation in asymptomatic 67-year-old man
referred to coronary CT angiography for exclusion of coronary artery disease
before orthopedic surgery because of inconclusive treadmill ECG stress test
and high coronary risk profile. Previous echocardiography (outpatient) was
interpreted as normal, but reevaluation by echocardiography in our institution
revealed moderate aortic valve regurgitation, grade 2. Left sagittal oblique
image shows incomplete coadaptation of leaflets (arrows). Inset shows
corresponding transverse image of aortic valve with central regurgitation area
(R in inset) of 0.46 cm2.
