Potential role of an athlete-focused echocardiogram in sports eligibility

Table 11 Echocardiographic parameters indicative of the degree of severity of different valve stenosis (adapted from[111,165])

	AVS			MVS			TVS	PVS
	Low	Moderate	Severe	Low	Moderate	Severe	Clinically significant	Low	Moderate	Severe
V max (m/s)	2.6-2.9	3.0-3.4	≥ 4.0					< 3	3-4	≥ 4
DP mean (mmHg)	< 30	30-40	≥ 40	< 5	5-10	> 10	> 5	< 30	30-50	> 50
Valve orifice area (cm2)	> 1.5	1.0-1.5	< 1.0	> 1.5	1.0-1.5	< 1.0

AVS: Aortic valve stenosis; MVS: Mitral valve stenosis; TVS: Tricuspid valve stenosis; PVS: Pulmonary valve stenosis; PAP: Pulmonary artery pressure.
