Electronic Provider Notification to Facilitate the Recognition and Management of Severe Aortic Stenosis: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Circulation

Background: Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains undertreated with high resultant mortality despite increased growth and availability of aortic valve replacement (AVR) since the advent of transcatheter therapies. The patient cohort had mean age of 7711 years, was 47% female, and had mean aortic valve area 0.80.1
