Confusion in severity of AS is because of quantification of lvef. Get the echo done Not from anywhere but from a reputed cardiac centre with dedicated non invasive cardiology department and experienced operator. He may also ask for low dose dobutamine echo to clarify the situation. If then it turns out to be severe AS the surgery is required or not will be decided by symptom analysis Regards.
