The aims of this study were to (i) investigate aortic annulus dynamics using two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography, (ii) determine optimal 2D short-axis view for the calculation of planimetric aortic valve area (AVA), and (iii) compare 2D planimetric AVA extracted from volumetric three-dimensional data sets using real-time 3DTEE (three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography) with standard 2DTEE planimetry.
