Exercise Echocardiography in Asymptomatic Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
The management of asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains controversial. Recent series reported that early aortic valve replacement might be associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, the risk-benefit ratio should be carefully evaluated and early surgery only be proposed to a subset of asymptomatic patients considered at higher risk. Exercise echocardiography ca...
متن کاملLow-flow aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Valvular aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvular disease in developed countries. Treatment decisions in AS are mainly based upon the symptomatic status of the patient and the severity of AS. Doppler echocardiography represents the standard tool for detecting and assessing the severity of the disease. Under the same denomination of severe AS [aortic valve area (AVA) < 1 cm(2)], severa...
متن کاملLow gradient severe aortic stenosis with normal ejection fraction.
Sir, A 18 year old female patient was diagnosed to have tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy and started on antitubercular therapy (ATT). The lymphadenopathy regressed, however, after four months of ATT, patient developed jaundice, abdominal distension and swelling of bilateral lower limbs. She had no bleeding manifestation or altered behaviour. She had no history of jaundice in the past, histor...
متن کاملAortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic regurgitation and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
Aortic Regurgitation and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction To the Editor: Chaliki et al1 have presented data in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) with normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF 50%; n 73). “Mild” LVEF reduction (35% to 50%; n 134) and “markedly” low LVEF ( 35%; n 43) who were operated on between 1980 and 1995. In February of 1980,2 we documented ...
متن کاملSurvival benefit of aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis with low ejection fraction and low gradient with normal ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Aortic stenosis (AS) is becoming increasingly common with the aging population. Many of these patients have reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (EF) or low transvalvular gradients resulting in reluctance to offer aortic valve replacement (AVR). METHODS Our echocardiographic database for the period of 1993 to 2003 was screened for severe AS (aortic valve area [AVA] </= ...
