Inclusion Criteria

-Age * 18 years.
-Undergoing TAVI or balloon valvuloplasty for standard clinical indications/undergoing coronary catheterization and have had an echo with a moderate aortic stenosis in the last 3 months
-Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

-Unrevascularized and severe coronary artery disease (for example a 90% diameter stenosis or FFR<0.7 in the proximal left anterior descending artery) that in the opinion of the primary TAVI/BAV operator would produce significant ischemia during dobutamine infusion.
-Significant aortic regurgitation, mitral valve disease, tricuspid regurgitation, or intracardiac shunt that would invalidate thermodilution cardiac output or the interpretation of transvalvular flow across the aortic valve.
-Co-existing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
-Atrial fibrillation or tachycardia with rapid ventricular response, a history of significant ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, or an implanted cardiac defibrillator whose treatment thresholds would be reached during dobutamine infusion.
-Known hypersensitive response to dobutamine.
-Recent (within 3 weeks prior to cardiac catheterization) ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in any arterial distribution.
