Aortic Dimensionless Index

Aortic dimensionless index = LVOT VTI / aortic-valve VTI (or peak velocities); <= 0.25 severe aortic stenosis, 0.25-0.50 moderate, > 0.50 mild.

Example

LVOT VTI
18
Aortic-valve VTI
90

Result: Aortic dimensionless index 0.2 — severe aortic stenosis (<= 0.25).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

<= 0.25
Severe aortic stenosis.
0.25-0.50
Moderate aortic stenosis.
> 0.50
Mild or no significant AS (LVOT VTI / AV VTI; area-free). A hemodynamic ratio, not a diagnosis.

What you enter

  • LVOT VTI (or peak velocity)
  • Aortic-valve VTI (or peak velocity)
