ncreasing life expectancy is expected to lead to a corresponding
increase in the prevalence of aortic valve disease (AVD). Further,
the number of indications for trans catheter aortic valve replacement
(TAVR) as a treatment option for AVD is expanding, with a growing role
for echocardiography in its management. In this review we summarize
the current literature on some newer echocardiographic modalities
and the parameters they generate, with a particular focus on their
prognostic and clinical value beyond conventional methods in the
management of aortic stenosis, TAVR, and aortic regurgitation. Speckle
tracking and 3D echocardiography are now increasingly being used in
the management of AVD. For instance, global longitudinal strain, the
best-studied speckle tracking echocardiographic parameter, can detect
subtle subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with AVD that is not
apparent using traditional echocardiographic techniques. The emerging
technique of 3D full volume color Doppler echocardiography provides
more accurate measurement of the severity of aortic regurgitation
than 2D-proximal iso-velocity surface area. These novel techniques
are promising for evaluating and risk stratifying patients to optimize
surgical interventions, predict recovery, and improve clinical outcomes.
