Why the study?
Lower systemic arterial compliance is linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertension, but had not been assessed prospectively in aortic valve stenosis.
Does low systemic arterial compliance increase cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with asymptomatic mild-moderate aortic valve stenosis?
Does low systemic arterial compliance increase cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with asymptomatic mild-moderate aortic valve stenosis?
Low systemic arterial compliance is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with asymptomatic mild-moderate aortic stenosis.

Low SAC may aid risk stratification in asymptomatic AS; hypothesis-generating for compliance-targeted interventions.
