title: Assessment of aortic stenosis from the right parasternal view:  when the answer is just on the opposite side.
abstract: We present the case of a man with severe aortic stenosis in whom diagnosis was established by evaluating the transvalvular gradient from the right parasternal view, since classical measurements from the apical five-chamber view were discordant with the indexed aortic valve area obtained in the short-axis view.
