Early AVR reduces unplanned hospitalizations and stroke in asymptomatic severe AS; supports updating guidelines toward earlier intervention in select patients.
Does early intervention reduce major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis compared to clinical surveillance?
