GPs need to auscultate every patient's chest and investigate murmurs with an ECHO - only a minority of patients with treatable AS are being detected
Severe AS has a very significant impact on quality of life and a very high mortality rate, but even moderate AS has a significant impact

There has been a recent update in intermediate risk private reimbursement that will make this procedure available to many more patients
