Objective We aimed to describe the progression rate into manifest aortic stenosis (AS) in subjects with normal aortic valves or in an early phase of calcific aortic valve disease. Methods Participants ...

Patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis and reduced LVEF, compared with patients with high-gradient aortic stenosis, have worse clinical outcomes.

Even in early aortic stenosis there is no gradient at rest ... helps normalize wall stress and maintain cardiac output in the normal range. Since there is little hemodynamic consequence to ...

In healthy individuals with a normal valve, minimal energy is required ... Additionally, the LV-aortic gradient decreases with progressively increasing LV systolic dysfunction.

The aortic valve keeps blood flowing from the left ventricle to the aorta. Your child may be born with aortic stenosis (congenital). Or it may happen later (acquired). It occurs more often in boys ...

ed.ac.uk To review the pathophysiology of fibrocalcific aortic stenosis, the myocardial response to pressure overload and current clinical guidelines concerning the timing of valve intervention. To ...

Keep in mind that blood sugar targets may vary based on characteristics such as age, lifestyle factors and more; there is no universal “normal” blood sugar level. Instead, the information in ...

We applied the following criteria for critical aortic stenosis: valvular stenosis with duct-dependent systemic circulation or depressed left ventricular function (fractional shortening ≤27%).
