May support ELI for refined prognostication in asymptomatic aortic stenosis; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does baseline energy loss index (ELI) improve prognostic prediction of aortic valve events and heart failure outcomes compared to conventional measures in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis?
In asymptomatic aortic stenosis, the energy loss index provides independent prognostic information beyond conventional severity measures, improving risk prediction for aortic valve events.
Bahlmann et al. (2013) studied this question.
