Although the current guidelines advocate imaging surveillance for moderate aortic stenosis
(AS), recent studies suggest a worse prognosis associated with moderate AS than …

Aortic stenosis is a very common disease. Current guidelines recommend intervention
mainly in symptomatic patients; aortic valve replacement can be considered in asymptomatic …

Background: Trends in mortality from aortic stenosis across European countries are not well-
understood, especially given the significant growth in transcatheter aortic valve implantation …

Background The success of cardiac auscultation varies widely among medical
professionals, which can lead to missed treatments for structural heart disease. Applying …

Objective Timing of intervention for patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS)
remains controversial. To compare the outcomes of early aortic valve replacement (AVR) …

The main objective was to determine the optimal strategy for managing asymptomatic
severe aortic stenosis between early intervention versus conservative management. We …

Background Mounting evidence indicates that rapid progression of aortic stenosis (AS) is
significantly associated with poor prognosis. Whether diabetes accelerates the progression …

Aims The present guidelines advise replacing the aortic valve for individuals with severe
aortic stenosis (AS) based on various echocardiographic parameters. Accurate …

Purpose To investigate whether functional assessment of aberrant flow patterns by viscous
energy loss (E′ L) using four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI could determine aortic stenosis …

Background While aortic valve replacement (AVR) is indicated for symptomatic severe aortic
stenosis (AS), the appropriate management of asymptomatic severe AS remains unclear …
