Why the study?
Does renal failure and dialysis accelerate the progression of calcific aortic stenosis compared to the general population?
Does renal failure and dialysis accelerate the progression of calcific aortic stenosis compared to the general population?
Dialysis patients with aortic stenosis require shorter time frames for clinical review and surgical intervention due to accelerated disease progression.
Renal failure may accelerate aortic stenosis progression; leaves open dialysis effects and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
Aortic stenosis progressed more rapidly in the presence of renal failure. The time frames for review and operation in dialysis patients should be shorter than for the general population.
