High-sensitivity troponin I concentrations are a marker of an advanced hypertrophic response and adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis [PDF]
AIMS: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays hold promise in detecting the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in aortic stenosis.

Aortic Stenosis Suspected to Be Severe Despite Low Gradients [PDF]
The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery guidelines generally recommend aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who have symptoms, have left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, or undergo coronary artery bypass

Interdisciplinary three-step strategy to treat aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease in a patient with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background: Valvular aortic stenosis is a common disease in the elderly, often in multimorbid patients. It is often associated with coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease.

Transcatheter versus surgical aortic-valve replacement in high-risk patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of transcatheter aortic-valve replacement has been shown to reduce mortality among high-risk patients with aortic stenosis who are not candidates for surgical replacement.

Low “gradient”, low flow aortic stenosis [PDF]
Aortic stenosis is thought to have a long, asymptomatic latent phase during which the risk of sudden death is low. In fact symptoms can be revealed by treadmill exercise in a large proportion of apparently asymptomatic patients.1 Patients may limit exercise to avoid symptoms or may fail to recognise the presence of exertional breathlessness or ascribe ...

Cost-utility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation for inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis treated by medical management: a UK cost-utility analysis based on patient-level data from the ADVANCE study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To use patient-level data from the ADVANCE study to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to medical management (MM) in patients with severe aortic stenosis from the perspective of the UK ...

Local versus general anesthesia for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR)- systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading ...

Dobutamine Challenge for Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
In adults with valvular aortic stenosis (AS), valve replacement is recommended in the presence of symptoms and severely reduced aortic valve area (AVA).1 In such patients, valve replacement improves symptoms and survival, even in the setting of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Background A retrospective comparative study was designed to determine whether the transvalvular gradient has a predictive value in the assessment of operative outcome in patients with severe aortic stenosis and poor left ventricular function.

Objective. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a novel technique used in the assessment of aortic stenosis. The aim of the study was to compare MRI and cardiac catheterization (CAT) that is still considered to be a “golden standard” in this indication ...
