Clinical short-term outcome of severe untreated aortic stenosis

ABSTRACT

Background: sclerocalcific aortic valve is a common condition. Risk stratification and decision making is particularly complex in adults with aortic stenosis [AS], because the disease mainly affects elderly patients who represent a heterogeneous population and require balanced and individualized analysis using a multidisciplinary collaboration. Further research is needed to provide better evidence in particular on spontaneous risk, earlier detection of LV dysfunction, and the results of transcatheter treatment and medical therapy
