- Aortic valve sclerosis graded as follows: Absent = Normal cusp thickness (<2 mm), and normal reflectivity; Mild = Cusp thickness >2 mm and/or increased reflectivity; Moderate = Thickness >4 mm and/or diffuse or focal cusp hyperreflectivity; Severe = Thickness >6 mm and/or marked echoreflectivity. Final score was graded from 0 to 8.
