Q: Echo Results - elevated aortic velocities

asked by: Annie95 on November 2nd, 2007

New User

I'm a little confused, as my echo report reads "elevated aortic velocities." Are these parameters considered normal:
PV V Max 1.01 m/s
PV Peak Gradient 4.1 mmHg
Doppler/Mitral Valve Velocties (E) 1.16 m/s
Velocities (A) 0.96 m/s
Pressure 1/2 Time 60 msec
Deceleration Time 206 msec
MV Area 3.68 cm2?

Thank you for your assistance.
