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 ...

Whether transcatheter aortic-valve replacement can improve outcomes in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis has been unclear. New research findings comparing TAVR with clinical ...

The development of aortic stenosis takes many years and is initially asymptomatic. Dyspnea is the first symptom of aortic stenosis in about 50% of the cases while syncope and angina account for 35 ...

Any patient who is symptomatic from aortic stenosis should undergo AVR as soon as possible. AVR is generally not indicated if asymptomatic unless echocardiographic surveillance reveals rapidly ...

Given that this cohort of patients will likely require intervention regardless, these findings provide a compelling basis for ...

Background Aortic stenosis is a degenerative condition with high mortality in its severe stages and no preventive treatment.

Edwards presented data from its EARLY TAVR trial that showed 45 percent of untreated asymptomatic aortic stenosis exhibited no symptoms, still ended up dying, suffered a stroke, or were ...

People with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) on top of aortic stenosis (AS ... of plasma ATTR amyloid in the myocardium. For asymptomatic patients diagnosed with early-stage disease ...

Aortic stenosis is a disease often diagnosed in its asymptomatic phase due to its distinct murmur and the widespread use of noninvasive imaging. The history, however, is still of paramount ...

Mild stenosis is very often asymptomatic. That means the patient won't necessarily feel it in and of itself. When a patient develops severe aortic stenosis, this is most often when they develop ...
