Exercise hemodynamic monitoring may unmask pulmonary venous hypertension missed by standard testing in asymptomatic severe AS; leaves open its role in risk stratification.

This case highlights the potential risk of sudden cardiac arrest during or after exercise testing in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, which may be complicated by underlying coronary artery disease.
Christensen et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (n=1). Haemodynamic stress test (supine bicycle exercise) was evaluated on Ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. A 68-year-old man with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis developed sustained ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest during a haemodynamic stress test, revealing underlying coronary artery disease.
