Bar plots: in red, patients with low flow-low gradient (LF-LG) aortic stenosis; in blue, patients with normal flow-high gradient (HG) aortic stenosis; in black: controls. Aim Cardiac remodelling plays a major role in the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and could impact the benefits of aortic valve replacement.

Left ventricular afterload reduction is essential to decrease the trans-se ptal pressure gradient and thus decrease shunt volume, making a larger proportion of the blood flow from the left ventricle through the aortic valve.

It was edited by Smith CASE : A 52-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension and COPD summoned EMS with complaints of chest pain, weakness and nausea. The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Khot, MD; et al.

Objective The European Society of Cardiology guidelines have recently defined new cut-offs for pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary vasculature resistance (PVR; median pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) >20 instead of 25 mm Hg and PVR >2 instead of 3 Wood unit).

Among all covariates, claims algorithms for covariates had sensitivities 85% for identifying diabetes, atrial flutter/fibrillation, and hypertension in MA and FFS. The kappa was higher in MA versus FFS for diabetes (P=0.03) and hypertension (P=0.025) but was lower in myocardial infarction (P<0.0001).

Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is often associated with a concomitant aortopathy. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of the aortic valve (AV) phenotype on the rate of dilation of the aorta.

Objective Patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG AS) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are known to suffer from poor prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aimed to develop a simple score system for risk prediction in this vulnerable subset of patients.

I've previously discussed the interesting correlation of a qR pattern in lead V1 in patients with RVH — as strongly suggesting associated pulmonary hypertension ( See ECG Blog #234 and Blog #248 ). The plan was to proceed as soon as possible with aortic valve replacement. He could not be resuscitated.

A 69 year old woman with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency department by EMS for evaluation of chest pain and shortness of breath. The patient was finally weaned to room air on day 4 and taken for a CT scan to evaluate the possibility of aortic valve replacement. This was written by Hans Helseth.

Larger shunt volume means less blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve and lower cardiac output. The pressure gradient in this case was significant indicating that the defect is rather small. The larger the size of the defect the larger the shunt. The patient was not considered a surgical candidate.
