Assessing Optimal Blood Pressure in Patients With Asymptomatic Aortic Valve Stenosis: The Simvastatin Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis Study (SEAS).
BACKGROUND Evidence for treating hypertension in patients with asymptomatic aortic valve stenosis is scarce. We used data from the SEAS trial (Simvastatin Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis) to assess what blood pressure (BP) would be optimal. METHODS A total of 1767 patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis and no manifest atherosclerotic disease were analyzed. Outcomes were all-cause mortality, ...
متن کاملManagement of Hypertension in Patients With Mild to Moderate Aortic Stenosis: Navigating the SEAS.
the treatment of hypertension has been the subject of intense interest and debate over the last several years.1–5 Although a “lower is better strategy” has been adopted in clinical practice for many but not all patient cohorts, the boundary conditions for blood pressure treatment have not been established rigorously by clinical trials involving middle-aged and older adults with hypertension and...
متن کاملAssessing the severity of aortic stenosis.
The height of the "a" wave of the apexcardiogram was evaluated as a marker for critical aortic stenosis in patients over 40. Critical aortic stenosis was defined as an aortic valve area < .75 cm2 with no more than mild aortic insufficiency. Phonocardiograms and apexcardiograms were performed on 72 patients with catheterization proven aortic stenosis and on 14 normal controls, all over age 40. T...
متن کاملThe Influence of Aortic Valve Replacement on Functional Moderate - To-Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Patients with Aortic Valve Stenosis
GOAL The aim of this study was to show whether the concomitant functional mitral regurgitation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement improves after this surgical procedure and to identify preoperative echocardiographic parameters that may influence the lack of improvement in mitral regurgitation (MR) after aortic valve replacement (AVR). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 45 pa...
