Abstract
A 46-year-old man presented with recent dyspnea on exertion (functional class II). Physical examination showed a systolic ejection murmur and a holodiastolic murmur at the left sternal border. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed that the aortic valve area was 1.1 cm2 by direct planimetry and 0.9 cm2 by continuity equation.
