Clinical Outcomes in High‐Gradient, Classical Low‐Flow, Low‐Gradient, and Paradoxical Low‐Flow, Low‐Gradient Aortic Stenosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Report From the SwissTAVI Registry [PDF]
Background In view of the rising global burden of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, its early recognition and treatment is key. Although patients with classical low‐flow, low‐gradient (C‐LFLG) aortic stenosis have higher rates of death after ...

Prognostic Impact of Mitral Regurgitation Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Severe Low‐Flow, Low‐Gradient Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
Background There is little evidence about the prognostic role of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with low‐flow, low‐gradient aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Risk prediction in patients with classical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis undergoing surgical intervention [PDF]
IntroductionClassical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) is an advanced stage of aortic stenosis, which has a poor prognosis with medical treatment and a high operative mortality after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Outcomes and Predictors of Flow Improvement After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Low-Flow Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
Background: Flow is known to typically improve after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); however, the characteristics correlating with improvement are still unclear.

Low-Gradient aortic stenosis; the diagnostic dilemma
Low-gradient (LG) aortic valve stenosis (AS) constitutes a significant subset among patients with severe aortic stenosis. This entity represents one of the most challenging heart conditions when it comes to diagnosis and management, mainly because of the

Pseudo-discordance mimicking low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis in transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: While the combination of a small aortic valve area (AVA) and low mean gradient is frequently labeled ‘low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (AS)’, there are two potential causes for this finding: underestimation of mean gradient and ...

A Novel Echocardiographic Parameter to Confirm Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis Severity [PDF]
Background: In patients with low-gradient (LG) aortic stenosis (AS), confirming disease severity and indication of intervention often requires dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) or aortic valve calcium scoring by computed tomography.

Multimodality Imaging for Discordant Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis: Assessing the Valve and the Myocardium [PDF]
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a disease of the valve and the myocardium. A correct assessment of the valve disease severity is key to define the need for aortic valve replacement (AVR), but a better understanding of the myocardial consequences of the increased
