The investigation of aortic stenosis includes:

  • ECG - left ventricular hypertrophy and strain

  • chest radiography:
    • may show post-stenotic dilatation of the ascending aorta
    • there may be calcification of the aortic valve

  • doppler and echocardiography - diagnostic of aortic stenosis

  • cardiac catheterization and angiography - necessary only to exclude co-existing coronary artery disease.
