Fig. 2B —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. Echocardiography shows
reduced pressure half-time of 295 milliseconds indicating moderate aortic
valve regurgitation.
