Aortic stenosis significantly worsens long-term outcomes in heart failure patients, highlighting treatment gaps and the need for earlier intervention strategies.
Does the presence of aortic stenosis worsen long-term outcomes and mortality risk in patients across the heart failure spectrum?
Aortic stenosis, even when non-severe, is associated with high mortality across all heart failure subtypes, highlighting a critical treatment gap and the need for trials on earlier intervention.

AS is common in HF and is associated with substantially worse long-term outcomes across all HF subtypes, even at non-severe stages. The high mortality risk and frequent lack of intervention highlight major treatment gaps and underscore the need for prospective trials evaluating earlier intervention strategies.
