The severity of aortic stenosis is determined by measuring the aortic valve area (AVA) and calculating the pressure gradient between the left ventricle and the aorta on echocardiography.

Pressure tracings made from the body of the left ventricle (LV) (A), the body and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) (B), and LV body and aorta (C). In B, both catheters record an LV pressure ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

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

THE primary purpose of this report is to emphasize the relation of a high-pitched "squeaking" or "musical" systolic murmur to aortic stenosis and calcification of the aortic valve. This is not so ...

Aortic stenosis is a condition where the aortic valve narrows, obstructing blood flow from the heart to the aorta. As a result, the heart must work harder to pump blood, causing increased pressure ...

Patients with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk who underwent supra-annular, self-expanding Evolut transcatheter ...

BACKGROUND: Real-world low-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes in the United States have not been assessed comprehensively versus pivotal trials, which is a key component of ...

Keep the blood pressure down. If people smoke, we get them to stop smoking. Exercise and diet. For severe aortic stenosis, the treatment involves replacing the aortic valve. And so prompt ...
