Sigmoid isostiffness-lines: An in-vitro model for the assessment of aortic stenosis severity
IntroductionThe aortic valve opening area (AVA), used to quantify aortic stenosis severity, depends on the transvalvular flow rate (Q). The currently accepted clinical echocardiographic method assumes a linear relation between AVA and Q.

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.

A model based on clinical parameters to identify myocardial late gadolinium enhancement by magnetic resonance in patients with aortic stenosis: An observational study [PDF]
Objective With increasing age, the prevalence of aortic stenosis grows exponentially, increasing left heart pressures and potentially leading to myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis and adverse outcomes.

Approximately 50% of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in clinical practice present with ‘low-gradient’ haemodynamics. Stroke Volume Index (SVI) is a measure of left ventricular output, with ‘normal-flow’ considered as > 35 ml/m2.

Quantification of Local Hemodynamic Alterations Caused by Virtual Implantation of Three Commercially Available Stents for the Treatment of Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
Patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are prone to morbidity including atherosclerotic plaque that has been shown to correlate with altered wall shear stress (WSS) in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo).

Author's summary The benefits of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in symptomatic normal-flow, low-gradient (NFLG) severe aortic stenosis (AS) are controversial and current guidelines do not recommend AVR in these patients. Through this study, we found that

Role of Echocardiography Before Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common primary valve disorder in the elderly with an increasing prevalence; transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an accepted alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) in the high risk or ...

Aortic Stenosis, a Left Ventricular Disease: Insights from Advanced Imaging [PDF]
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common primary valve disorder in the elderly with an increasing prevalence. It is increasingly clear that it is also a disease of the left ventricle (LV) rather than purely the aortic valve.
