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 ...

Researchers from the University of Sheffield and the University of East Anglia have implemented a cutting-edge 4D flow MRI ...

After a trial shows early intervention prevents hospitalization, the US Food and Drug Administration approves transcatheter ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Edwards Lifesciences' SAPIEN 3 platform, a transcatheter aortic valve ...

Aortic stenosis 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 increase ...

Diagnosis of aortic valve stenosis begins with physical examination and heart auscultation. Further assessments may include chest X-rays, electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiography, MRI, or CT ...

It is also called catheter-based or percutaneous (through the skin) aortic valve replacement. While open-heart (surgical) aortic valve replacement is the gold standard treatment for severe aortic ...
