Background and objectives: Endothelial dysfunction is associated with exercise intolerance
and adverse cardiovascular events. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is applied …

Background Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) exhibit systemic endothelial
dysfunction, which can be associated with myocardial ischaemia in absence of obstructive …

Background: Degenerative aortic stenosis is an atherosclerotic-like process associated with
impaired endothelial and autonomic function. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) …

Vascular function is impaired in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS). The impact of
transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on endothelial function is inconclusive so far …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is reportedly a sensitive marker for early subtle
abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) performance of asymptomatic patients with severe aortic …

Background Severe aortic stenosis (AS) results in cardiac damages, such as left ventricular
hypertrophy, left atrial enlargement, pulmonary pressure elevation and in advanced stage …

Summary Background and Aims Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an
established method for the treatment of high‐risk patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The …

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of baseline left ventricular (LV)
systolic function on clinical and echocardiographic outcomes following transcatheter aortic …

Background Mitral stenosis (MS) is often concomitant with aortic stenosis (AS). However,
little is known about the functional status following transcatheter aortic valve replacement …

Background Impaired coronary flow reserve (CFR) portends a poor prognosis in patients
with aortic stenosis. The present study aims to investigate how CFR changes over one year …
