UNASSIGNED: @entity4503 ( @entity4503 ) is a common @entity299 . Our study was to analyze clinical features of @entity4503 and evaluate whether aortic valve @entity460 score (AVCS) was a reliable marker for @entity472 ( @entity472 ) in @entity1 with @entity4503 . 101 @entity1 with @entity4503 who both underwent echocardiology and cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan in our institution were included. Basic clinical data, haemodynamic feature, aortic valve and coronary @entity460 score were collected and compared among @entity1 with different valve function and different degree of @entity472 . Risk factors related to severe @entity472 were evaluated by logistic regression, and a receiver operative characteristic curve was used to determine the cutoff @entity460 score greater than which the diagnosis of severe @entity472 was optimized. @entity1 with @entity337 ( @entity337 ) were younger and demonstrated larger aortic annulus and @entity50 compared with @entity1 with other @entity340 . Aortic valve @entity460 score was higher in @entity1 with @entity472 than with @entity337 . For @entity1 with different degree of @entity472 , there were statistical significances in the value of age, aortic valve @entity460 score and coronary @entity460 score. AVCS was positively related to severe @entity472 with an odd ratio of 1.286 (95  % CI 1.099-1.504) by every 300 points increase. AVCS was also a strong predictor for severe @entity472 with area under the curve 0.855 with a cutoff value of 897 (sensitivity 86.7  %, specificity 72.2  %). Conclusively, aortic @entity460 score calculated by quantitative CT is a reliable marker in evaluating severity of @entity472 .
