Introduction: In aortic stenosis (AS), there are clear sex differences in clinical presentation,
left ventricular (LV) response to pressure overload, and pathophysiology of valvular …

Aortic stenosis (AS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both progressive diseases that if left
untreated, result in significant morbidity and mortality. Several studies revealed that the …

The guideline provides a practical step-by-step guide in order to facilitate high-quality
echocardiographic studies of patients with aortic stenosis. In addition, it addresses …

Background Patients with degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) are often older and have
systemic hypertension and atherosclerosis, which all lead to increased aortic stiffness. We …

Aortic valve disease is often treated with bioprosthetic valves. An alternative treatment is
aortic valve neocuspidization which is a relatively new reparative procedure whereby the …

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting the behaviour of regular
physical activity in patients with hypertension using the health action process approach …

Heart failure is an inevitable end‐stage consequence of significant valvular heart disease
(VHD) that is left untreated and increasingly encountered in an ageing society. Recent …

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

Background Hypertension adds to the pressure overload on the left ventricle (LV) in
combination with aortic valve (AV) disease, but the optimal blood pressure (BP) targets for …

Background Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease, with no pharmacological
treatment. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among AS patients is higher than in the …
