Background Increase in left ventricular filling pressure (FP) and diastolic dysfunction are established consequences of progressive aortic stenosis (AS). However, the impact of elevated FP as detected by pretranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) echocardiogram on long-term outcomes after TAVR remains unclear.

VHD incidence was determined using International Classification of Disease-10 codes for aortic stenosis (AS), aortic regurgitation (AR), mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation (MR) and mitral valve prolapse. Clinical correlates of VHD included demographics, coronary artery disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Look at the aortic outflow tract. The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. What do you see? Answer below in the still shot.

Research is also underway into algorithms for the diagnosis of Aortic Stenosis and Myocarditis and should be ready for commercialization in the next 18 – 36 months. In late 2023, HeartSciences announced a partnership with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to commercialize the latter’s extensive ECG data and algorithm library.

The rhythm now is atrial fibrillation. Below is a still image with the red arrow indicating the subtotal LMCA stenosis. Post PCI an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was placed and a combination of norepinephrine and dobutamine was needed to maintain perfusion pressures. In the initial ECG (ECG# 1) aVR had ST elevation.

Objectives Grading the severity of moderate mixed aortic stenosis and regurgitation (MAVD) is challenging and the disease poorly understood. Methods Moderate MAVD was defined as coexisting moderate aortic stenosis (aortic valve area (AVA) 1.0–1.5 –1.5 –0.6 –1.5 –0.6 to 0.99; p=0.007).

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.

When left untreated, TR can lead to atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and ultimately, death. TR occurs when the valve doesn't close properly, causing a leak and allowing blood to flow backward in the heart. TR can force the heart to work harder, causing debilitating symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
