Background: Routine exercise testing in asymptomatic patients with valvular heart disease
(VHD) better classifies the hemodynamic severity of valve stenosis or regurgitation, and …

The most common cause for interventional valve treatment is aortic stenosis. A cardinal
symptom of aortic stenosis is heart failure due to the increased load exerted on the left …

Degenerative aortic valve stenosis is the most common primary valve disease and a
significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In an era when new techniques …

Valvular and arterial function are tightly intertwined, both in terms of structural changes and
hemodynamics. While proximal valvulo-vascular coupling contributes to the cardiovascular …

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of heart failure (HF) and major
adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE). Objective: To evaluate impact of vascular …

Background Current guidelines on the management strategy for patients with asymptomatic
severe aortic stenosis (AS) remain unclear. This uncertainty stems from the lack of data …

The present study aimed to analyze common carotid artery strain properties in patients (n=
59) with severe aortic valve stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement …

The effect of arterial stiffening on elevated pulsatile left ventricular afterload patients with
aortic stenosis (AS) is pronounced beyond systemic hypertension. Circulatory afterload …

Background: Despite the increasing use of transcatheter aortic valve procedures, many
patients still require surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Assessing arterial properties …

Background. The resistive (RI) and pulsatile (PI) indices are markers of vascular stiffness
(VS) which are associated with outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. We aimed …
