If the transvalvular gradient increases with output, severe aortic stenosis is present and valve replacement may be beneficial. However, if output increases but gradient does not, only mild ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

Objectives We hypothesised that low flow low gradient aortic stenosis (LFLGAS ... aortic stenosis with unobstructed coronary arteries undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The ...

Individuals with BAV (athletes and non-athletes) had greater mean gradients than TAV athletes. Conclusion This multicentre international study demonstrates no differences between athletes with BAV and ...
