Traditional operative risk calculators, such as the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroSCORE II), ...

With targeted treatment using both medical therapy for transthyretin-associated cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) and valve replacement for aortic stenosis (AS), patients with the dual pathology can fare ...

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 ...

Edwards Lifesciences announced the FDA approved its transcatheter aortic valve replacement platform for treatment of severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis, the first in this patient population ...

He said the valve embolization rate was much lower than the rates observed — 10% to 15% — when TAVR valves designed to treat aortic stenosis are used off-label to treat aortic regurgitation.

A device in clinical development appears to be far safer and more effective than the TAVI devices currently being used off-label for the treatment of aortic regurgitation.

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 w ...

An endomyocardial biopsy was offered to patients with Grade 1 or ambiguous DPD uptake and this identified 2 more patients with ATTR-CM bringing the total of patients with concomitant aortic stenosis ...

Early surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement is not typically recommended for severe aortic stenosis in the absence of symptoms, but some now argue that cumulative evidence warrants a ...

Inrtoduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an alternative, less invasive treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. 1 The evidence continues to ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is a sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. Learn more about aortic stenosis murmur here.

Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a widely used treatment option as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) at ...
