Mashup Score: 22The Mortality Burden of Untreated Aortic Stenosis - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
Patients with AS have high mortality risk across all levels of untreated AS severity. Aortic valve replacement rates remain low for patients with severe AS, suggesting that more research is needed to understand barriers to diagnosis and appropriate approach and timing for aortic valve replacement.

Mashup Score: 0
This study provides progression rates for both hemodynamic and anatomic parameters of AS and shows that increasing hemodynamic and anatomic baseline severity is associated with faster AS progression. More studies are needed to determine if sex differences affect AS progression. (Aortic Valve Stenosi …

After mitral valve repair, women have a higher risk for all-cause mortality at lower LVESD and LVESDi and higher EF. We should consider sex-specific thresholds for LVESDi in surgical decision making in patients with severe MR. https://t.co/l1XknT3ZSS https://t.co/aHcWevOsMN
