Background Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is commonly associated with advanced cardiac damage, including right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), pulmonary hypertension (PH) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR), ...

Aortic stenosis is a condition in which the opening of the aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. The American Heart Association estimates that over 20% ...

Biological age acceleration, independently tied to higher all-cause mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe aortic ...

Beware! Having difficulty in breathing can be a warning sign of deadly heart valve disease. Read on to learn more about this ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to alter ...

Exertional dyspnea (shortness of breath during minimal physical activity) is frequently attributed to physical deconditioning ...

Early transcatheter aortic valve replacement bests clinical surveillance for reducing death, stroke, unplanned hospitalization. HealthDay News — Early transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is ...

WASHINGTON, DC—An early aortic valve replacement (AVR) strategy with either TAVI or surgery fails to lower the risk of all-cause mortality or unplanned aortic stenosis-related hospitalizations in ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.

The EVOLVED trial found that early aortic valve intervention in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) and mid-wall myocardial fibrosis on magnetic resonance imaging did not reduce the ...
