Figure 3 Maximum pressure differences ({Delta}Pmax, calculated with the short form of the modified Bernoulli equation) at rest and during exercise in eight patients with prosthesis-patient mismatch (valve area index <1 cm2/m2, •) and in 23 patients with valve area index ≥1 cm2/m2 ({blacktriangleup}). Mean and one SD are indicated.
