Rationale: Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is characterized by calcium deposition in valve
leaflets. However, women present lower aortic valve calcification loads than men for the …

Practice guidelines issued by professional societies significantly impact cardiology practice
throughout the world. They increasingly incorporate cardiac CT imaging. This review …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate this transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) bioprosthesis
in patients who are poorly suitable for surgical aortic valve (AV) replacement. Background: A …

Cardiovascular aging is a physiological process affecting all components of the heart.
Despite the interest and experimental effort lavished on aging of cardiac cells, increasing …

Background In calcific aortic valve disease on tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs), men have
higher aortic valve calcification and less fibrosis than women. However, little is known in …

Background Patients with severe aortic stenosis due to BAV are excluded from transcatheter
aortic valve replacement (TAVR) due to concern for asymmetric expansion and valve …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the survival benefit associated with aortic valve
replacement (AVR) according to different strata of echocardiographic parameters of aortic …

Aims This study assessed the prognostic implications of mechanical atrial dysfunction in
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients with different stages of atrial …

Objectives: The authors sought to compare the outcomes of commercial transcatheter aortic
valve replacement (TAVR) with the repositionable Evolut R platform to those observed with …

Background No randomized comparison of early (ie,≤ 3 months) aortic valve replacement
(AVR) versus conservative management or of transcatheter AVR (TAVR) versus surgical …
