Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) improves event-free survival in patients with
severe aortic stenosis, but patients' exercise capacity remains poor after the procedure …

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasingly applied for aortic
stenosis in elderly patients with impaired mobility and reduced quality of life. These patients …

Background Increased exercise capacity favourably influences clinical outcomes after
transcatheter aortic valve implantation. In our SPORT: TAVI randomised pilot trial, eight …

Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an effective
therapeutic procedure, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. We hypothesized …

Few data exist on the use of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) to measure the exercise capacity
of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis considered at very high surgical risk. The …

Background The beneficial effects of exercise training-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in
different cardiac conditions have been previously studied. In this meta-analysis, we focused …

Background: At present, there are no objective data specifically examining the clinical
impact of variations in exercise capacity post–transcatheter aortic valve replacement …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a chronic, progressive valve disease in which, if not treated, the
estimated 5-year survival of severe AS is only 15–50%. 1 The only effective treatment of …

Background Very few data exist on the functional evaluation of patients with severe
symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The …

Background and objectives: Endothelial dysfunction is associated with exercise intolerance
and adverse cardiovascular events. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is applied …
