Popis: The Authors’ reply We thank Professor Otto and Dr Bermejo for their interest and astute comments regarding our study.1 The echo frame for determining left ventricular volume at peak aortic velocity is estimated by the measuring the total number of frames from the R wave to the end systole and multiplying this by the fraction of time from the R wave to the peak aortic velocity and from the R wave to the end systole. In the initial report of EF1 in aortic stenosis (AS),2 the intraobserver and interobserver coefficients of variation were 6.7% and 9.8%. We acknowledge that EF1 …
