In EARLY TAVR, intervention improved outcomes over waiting in patients with class II or no indications for AVR consideration.

Yang noted that SAVR and TAVR on their own just put valves in without any change in annular structure. Surgeons often turn ...

There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If all else fails, the valve must be replaced. To better ...

In DETECT AS, the passive notifications improved rates of AVR and boosted survival, with bigger gains in women.

The endothelium lining the valve plays a critical role. It’s very important whether the valve consists of two or three leaflets. There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If ...

The prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) and amyloid transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) increases with age. While the global prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease is estimated to be >2% in ...

With recent advancements in surgical techniques, the majority of older patients with severe aortic stenosis are suitable candidates for valve replacement--even octogenarians and nonagenarians.

My heart was breaking, but not from lost love. It was failing in the most literal sense.
