Why the study?
Does a risk score predict outcome in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis?
Does a risk score predict outcome in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis?
A proposed risk score may help identify patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis who would benefit from early surgery.
May inform risk stratification in asymptomatic aortic stenosis; leaves open need for prospective validation before guiding decisions.
If further validation is achieved, this score may be useful to predict outcome in individual patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis to select those who might benefit from early surgery.
