Does baseline aortic valve gradient predict mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR?
Baseline aortic valve gradient is inversely associated with mortality after TAVR, indicating its utility in identifying patients most likely to benefit from the procedure.
Baseline AVGs show an inverse association with mortality post-TAVR. These results were consistent also in patients with high-gradient AS, suggesting that AVG can be used to identify patients most likely to benefit from TAVR.
