DAVID MONTGOMERY: Aortic stenosis is a tightening of one of the four major valves of the heart. The aortic valve is particularly important because the aortic valve is the gateway to the rest of ...

In principle, the blood volume passing through a stenotic valve (aortic stenosis) is equal to the blood volume proximal to the stenosis or in the LVOT (Figure 4). The stroke volume is equal to ...

Auscultation of the heart in patients with aortic stenosis can be very helpful in both the diagnosis and determining the severity of disease. The typical murmur of aortic stenosis is a high ...

In asymptomatic patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis, the survival is similar to age-matched controls. [1,16] The mainstay of medical treatment for these patients is simply appropriate ...

A first-of-its-kind therapy successfully slowed plaque progression in patients with aortic stenosis. Ataciguat may reduce the need for surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Patients with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk who underwent supra-annular, self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling ...

Medtronic has reported late-breaking data from the randomised Evolut Low Risk Trial’s five-year outcomes of the Evolut ...

TAVR is a common procedure carried out to treat patients with aortic stenosis, a condition in which the aortic valve becomes narrowed, preventing blood from flowing properly. During TAVR a ...
