Key result
Advanced cardiac imaging provides valuable pathological insights for managing aortic stenosis.
Why the study?
While echocardiography remains central in aortic stenosis, advanced imaging modalities provide pathological insights that may guide personalized diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning.
How do advanced cardiac imaging modalities assist in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning of aortic stenosis?
How do advanced cardiac imaging modalities assist in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning of aortic stenosis?
Advanced cardiac imaging modalities like CMR, CT, and PET complement echocardiography by providing pathological insights to guide personalized management of aortic stenosis.
May guide personalized aortic stenosis management; leaves open prospective outcome validation before routine adoption.
Aortic stenosis is the most common form of valve disease in the Western world and a major healthcare burden. Although echocardiography remains the central modality for the diagnosis and assessment of aortic stenosis, recently, advanced cardiac imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography have provided invaluable pathological insights that may guide the personalized management of the disease. In this review, we discuss applications of these novel non-invasive imaging modalities for establishing the diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and eventually planning the invasive treatment of aortic stenosis.

Grodecki et al. (2023) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Advanced cardiac imaging (CMR, CT, PET) was evaluated. Advanced cardiac imaging modalities, including cardiovascular magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography, provide valuable pathological insights for managing aortic stenosis.
