WASHINGTON, DC—Invasive hemodynamic assessment may help better identify severe aortic stenosis in patients with low aortic flow/low transvalvular pressure gradients and preserved ejection fractions, ...

WASHINGTON (May 16, 2016) --Patients with a combination of left ventricular dysfunction and low aortic valve gradient, or reduced force of blood flow through the aortic valve, have higher mortality ...

CHICAGO, IL—The incidence of valve hemodynamic deterioration is approximately 2% at both 30 days and 18 months among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, but the changes in the ...

A finding of reduced aortic-valve leaflet motion was noted on computed tomography (CT) in a patient who had a stroke after transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) during an ongoing clinical ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to alter ...
