If validated prospectively, the findings could be ‘transformative’ for patients with no current medical options.

However, worsening aortic stenosis eventually leads to a rise in LV wall stress, and thus a rise in LV myocardial oxygen demand. As the heart rate increases in response to exertion, a significant ...

This multicenter study sheds more light on sex-based differences in aortic stenosis (AS) and argues the benefits of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess sex-based risks in AS.

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 ...

but the LV pressure continues to rise as the aortic stenosis worsens. This leads to a rise in LV wall stress and thus a rise in LV myocardial oxygen demand. When the heart rate increases in ...

Background Aortic stenosis is a degenerative condition with high mortality in its severe stages and no preventive treatment. While diabetes is a known risk factor, the role of elevated glucose levels ...

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 ...
