If there is an increase in stroke volume, an increase in AVA ≥ 0.3cm ² and a small change in gradient produced after administration of Dobutamine there is an overestimation of the severity of aortic stenosis (= pseudo stenosis).

A DSE may also demonstrate a severe aortic stenosis with low transvalvular pressure gradient or contractile reserve. Contractile reserve has a predictive value for mortality in surgery of aortic valve replacement. Recent studies have shown that perioperative mortality 5-8 % versus 32 % without contractile reserve in contractile reserve.
