Compared with patients with high-gradient aortic stenosis, patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis and reduced LVEF have worse clinical outcomes. Clinical outcomes are worse in patients with ...

Aortic stenosis, affecting nine million people globally, is often unnoticed as symptoms are mistaken for aging. This heart condition, common in elderly, restricts blood flow due to valve narrowing, ...

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition ... BAV patients had a higher mean aortic transvalvular gradient than TAVI patients ...

If the patient has only a 30-mm gradient preoperatively and there is still a 10-mm gradient postoperatively, there has been incomplete relief of the pressure ... with aortic stenosis have an ...
