Aortic stenosis: pathophysiological effects on the myocardium and predictors of clinical events :

Alternative title:
physiology of the myocardium in aortic stenosis
Abstract:

The management of the asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is challenging; clinicians have to balance the risks of early surgery against the risk that irreversible myocardial damage may occur with a conservative management strategy.

It has become increasingly apparent that prognosis in asymptomatic AS depends not only on the degree of valvular stenosis, but also on the myocardial response to pressure overload and understanding the mechanisms of myocardial decompens...
