Mild or moderate calcific aortic stenosis is likely to progress with increasing deposition of calcium on the aortic cusps. The rate of progression can be quite variable, with the occasional ...

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 ...

Aortic stenosis (AS) occurs when the orifice of the aortic valve is significantly reduced due to the failure of the aortic valve leaflets to open fully during systole. This causes an effective ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

The benefits of early TAVR for patients with asymptomatic, severe aortic stenosis are consistent regardless of NT-proBNP or ...

Researchers found that at five years, patients with severe aortic stenosis who were treated with either TAVR or surgery had comparable rates of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke.

Aortic valve stenosis' is an often-overlooked condition and a growing health concern in ageing societies such as Thailand. With an increasing elderly population and a rise in age-related valve ...

Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) today announced new scientific evidence presented and published during the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) Annual Scientific Session & Expo, addressing the ...

The diagnosis of aortic stenosis is made mostly on physical examination and by echocardiography. The ECG in patients with aortic stenosis frequently shows left ventricular hypertrophy with strain ...
