Management of acute decompensated valvular heart disease

European Journal of Heart Failure

In acute heart failure caused by VHD, symptoms result from rapid haemodynamic changes and subsequent decline in cardiac function, and if left untreated, leads to acute decompensation and cardiogenic shock. After screening a total of 2234 articles, 76 published between 1994 and 2023 were included in subsequent analysis.

Smith : "decompensation" of aortic stenosis might have initiated this entire cascade. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade? We certainly know that there is hypoxia.
