PRESSURE RECOVERY
Pressure recovery right after an aortic stenosis or a prosthetic aortic valve.
What causes it? Should I take it in consideration while evaluating LV-AO gradient?
ATTENTION: To fully understand it, a DIFFERENT knowledge of hemodynamic is necessary. If you have seen already the class “Bernoulli the misunderstood” you may skip it. If not watch it first, don’t underestimate this theme (not only gradient but MASS, ENERGY AND MOMENTUM CONSERVATION LAWS), and then, after it, go to the “Pressure Recovery” that follows:
