Why the study?
The impact of the extent of cardiac damage on survival among real-world patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI was not well established.
Does the extent of baseline cardiac damage predict 1-year mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI?
Does the extent of baseline cardiac damage predict 1-year mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI?
The extent of baseline cardiac damage in patients undergoing TAVI is associated with a stepwise increase in 1-year mortality risk, highlighting the importance of pre-procedural staging.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Baseline staging may refine post-TAVI mortality prediction; leaves open whether it guides therapy or improves outcomes.
