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.

Lipoprotein (a) was associated with prevalent and incident aortic valve calcification and calcium progression in participants without aortic stenosis, researchers reported.“Lp (a) may represent ...

Aortic stenosis is a condition affecting the aortic valve—the valve positioned between the heart’s main pumping chamber and the aorta—causing it to narrow, or become stenotic.

However, unplanned aortic stenosis-related hospitalization was less in the early intervention group [Hazard Ratio 0.37 (95% CI 0.16 to 0.88)].

While he is not convinced that ADAS patients make up one-third of the TAVI population, he said the subset is not insignificant, and warrants attention. “I think there is a shift in the pathway of ...
