Although echocardiography is now the primary imaging modality used to evaluate<unk>  is often performed in patients with aortic<unk>  primarily to assess for the presence of epicardial coronary artery disease prior to surgical aortic valve replacement. Aortography can also be performed to assess the severity of aortic<unk> . The presence or absence of an aortic dissection can be evaluated. Left ventricular function (hemodynamics), size, and systolic function (ejection fraction) can also be evaluated.
