Supports staging for post-AVR prognostication in aortic stenosis; leaves open prospective validation before guiding decisions.
Does a staging classification based on the extent of cardiac damage predict clinical outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis after AVR?
A staging classification based on the extent of cardiac damage provides important prognostic information for clinical outcomes following aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis.
Généreux et al. (2017) studied this question. The newly described staging classification of aortic stenosis effectively characterizes cardiac damage and has significant prognostic implications for outcomes after AVR.
