Class I. Patients with cardiac disease but without resulting limitation of physical activity. Class II. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Class III. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Class IV. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure or the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest.

Characterize the Hemodynamic Performance of the Valve5 YearGradient is the pressure difference from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve. For this study pressure is measured in mmHg. Mean gradient for each patient is the average of the pressure differences from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve.

Characterize the Hemodynamic Performance of the Valve

Gradient is the pressure difference from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve. For this study pressure is measured in mmHg. Mean gradient for each patient is the average of the pressure differences from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve.
