Key result

Advanced multimodality imaging and AI refine AS subtype classification to inform individualized intervention strategies.

Why the study?

Standard transthoracic echocardiography relies on flow-dependent parameters that can lead to inconsistent grading in aortic stenosis, creating a need for advanced and multimodality imaging approaches.

Overview

Advanced methods may aid AS grading in low-gradient cases; leaves open need for outcome trials before practice change.

Key Points

To review advanced and emerging multimodality imaging techniques that improve diagnostic precision, risk stratification, and intervention planning in aortic stenosis.
Evaluated conventional and advanced echocardiographic techniques, including 3D imaging, stress echocardiography, and novel Doppler indices.
Assessed the roles of computed tomography calcium scoring and angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography, and artificial intelligence models in clinical assessment.
Computed tomography provides flow-independent calcium scoring using sex-specific thresholds and is vital for transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedural planning.
Cardiac magnetic resonance offers prognostic value by quantifying myocardial remodeling and fibrosis associated with patient recovery potential.
Integrating echocardiography, computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and artificial intelligence mitigates diagnostic uncertainty in challenging low-flow, low-gradient subtypes.
