Background The extent of extravalvular cardiac damage is associated with increased risk of
adverse events among patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve …

Aims Cardiac damage staging has been postulated as a prognostic tool in patients
undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The aims of our study are (i) to …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease and the main indication for
valvular replacement in older women. Correct AS grading is mandatory for an adequate …

Background: The prognostic value of cardiac damage staging classifications across the
haemodynamic spectrum of severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains unknown. Aims: We aimed …

Introduction Although staging of the extent of aortic stenosis (AS)-related cardiac damages is
usually performed via echocardiography, this technique has considerable limitations in …

Aims The interplay between pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) function
is reflected in an index of RV function to pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressure (PASP). The …

Aortic stenosis (AS) affects about 12% of people aged≥ 75 years. Accumulating evidence
on the prognostic importance of cardiac damage in patients with asymptomatic and less than …

Background Cardiac damage (CD) staging enhances risk stratification in patients with
clinically significant aortic stenosis (AS). We aimed to assess the prognostic value and …

Background The optimal medical treatment strategy after transcatheter aortic valve
replacement (TAVR) has not been established, and might be affected by the extent of …

Objectives Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) is associated with improved outcome
in patients with heart failure. Factors associated with and predictive of LVRR in patients with …
