Table 1 Peak TKE

From: Turbulent kinetic energy in the ascending aorta is greater in bicuspid than tricuspid aortic valve stenosis

 

Bicuspid AS

Tricuspid AS

p-value (unpaired t-test)

Peak TKE- valve and ascending aorta

Peak TKE- Ascending aorta alone (sinuses of Valsalva to the arch)

18.9mJ (±8.4)

11.0mJ (±4.1)
