A method of evaluation of the aortic opening area in healthy dogs and dogs with aortic stenosis is described. Through right and left heart catheterisation intraventricular and intravascular pressures were measured. For the determination of cardiac output the thermodilution technique is used. The aortic opening area is calculated by using the GORLIN-formula. Values of normal and stenotic left ventricular outflow opening area are given.
