Degenerative aortic stenosis [PDF]
#### Summary points Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular lesion in Europe and North America. It primarily presents as calcific aortic stenosis in 2-7% of the population aged >65 years.1 About 80% of adult patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis are male.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]
Background/Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for high-risk patients. However, dialysis patients were excluded from all previous studies.

Arrhythmic risk in elderly patients candidates to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. predicative role of repolarization temporal dispersion [PDF]
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, as well as mental stress in specific patients. In such a context, substrate, autonomic imbalance as well as repolarization dispersion abnormalities ...

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Alkaptonuric aortic stenosis [PDF]
A 71-year-old male patient was referred for the evaluation of a high-grade aortic stenosis. His medical history revealed prosthetic hip and joint replacement due to degenerative arthritis at the age of 55. On physical examination, a 2/4 systolic ejection murmur at the right upper sternal border, kyphosis, and a bluish-black discolouration of the sclera

Moderate Aortic Stenosis With Cardiac Damage: A New Type of Severe Aortic Stenosis
The clinical implications of severe aortic stenosis have been well established. Understanding of moderate aortic stenosis, however, continues to evolve. Athough moderate aortic stenosis may be less clinically impactful in patients with normal ventricular

Association between asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis and degenerative aortic stenosis. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Degenerative aortic stenosis shows similarities with atherosclerosis. To confirm the hypothesis that aortic stenosis is an "atherosclerosis-like" disease, we investigated the association between degenerative aortic stenosis and ...
