manifesting as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Both conditions are rising in incidence as well as prevalence, creating poor …

Background The effect of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on kidney function
stage in patients with aortic stenosis remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that in …

Aortic stenosis with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a clinical
challenge. Aortic stenosis is more prevalent and progresses more rapidly and unpredictably …

bioprosthetic valve durability outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and …

Background The prognostic significance of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in severe aortic
stenosis is poorly understood and no studies have yet evaluated the effect of aorticvalve …

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively novel minimally
invasive procedure for the treatment of symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis …

Background Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are a challenging and
understudied population. Specifically, the late outcomes following surgical aortic valve …

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD) from the early stages to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Aortic and mitral valves are …
