Myocardial fibrosis (MF) that occurs in aortic stenosis (AS) has been shown to be associated with a poor prognostic outcome post surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) but not in the high risk patients suitable for Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Using the technique of late-gadolin
## Abstract We describe a series of patients with suspected aortic stenosis who were noted to have a significant aortic valve gradient by Doppler echocardiography but only a minimal gradient during cardiac catheterization. Although the pressure recovery phenomenon partially explained this discrepan
