In patients with CAD, normal weight with central obesity is associated with the highest risk of mortality [corrected].

The FRANCE TAVI registry provided reassuring data regarding trends in TAVR performance in an all-comers population on a national scale. Nonetheless, given that TAVR indications are likely to expand to patients at lower surgical risk, concerns remain regarding potentially life-threatening complications and pacemaker implantation. (Registry of Aortic Valve Bioprostheses Established by Catheter [FRANCE TAVI]; NCT01777828).

In subjects with CAD, including those with normal and high BMI, central obesity but not BMI is directly associated with mortality.
