Physical examination in aortic stenosis. Correlation with echocardiographic and peripheral Doppler echocardiography findings
2020, REC: CardioClinicsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, caution should be taken in generalizing the results. We decided to use brachial artery Doppler despite the fact that the central pressure curves differ from the peripheral artery,27 since carotid atherosclerosis is present in most patients with AS.28 In conclusion, the present study shows that physical examination findings have an acceptable diagnostic accuracy for assessing AS severity.
