Figure 1 Correlation of AVBS and Visual Assessment Score
Comparison of aortic valve backscatter scores (AVBS) with visual assessment scores in subjects without and with aortic sclerosis. There was a significant difference in AVBS between groups (11.2 ± 3.9 dB vs. 14.9 ± 4.5 dB, respectively, p < 0.001). Means and interquartile ranges are depicted. Whiskers represent minimum and maximum values.
