Why the study?
Is hypertension associated with asymmetric septal hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis?
Is hypertension associated with asymmetric septal hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis?
Hypertension, rather than aortic stenosis severity, is the primary clinical driver of asymmetric septal hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis.
May support hypertension evaluation in asymptomatic aortic stenosis with asymmetric hypertrophy; hypothesis-generating for causality and intervention trials.
Hypertension is the main clinic characteristic of ASH and asymmetric LV hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis independent of severity of aortic stenosis.
