All the following about aortic stenosis (AS) are true
except:


a) Aortic stenosis is the most common adult cardiac
valve lesion.
b) The earlier the murmur peaks in systole the more
critical the stenosis.
c) If left untreated, one half of all patients who present
with syncope due to AS will die in 3 years.
d) Stress echocardiography has been proven safe and
useful for patients with moderate-to-severe asymptomatic
AS.
e) Patients with moderate AS (valve area less than 1.2
cm2) undergoing CABG should have their valve
replaced at the same time.
