Abstract:Background and Objectives:
Previous studies have shown that a multiple blood biomarker strategy prior to aortic valve replacement (AVR) may be useful for risk stratification in patients undergoing surgical AVR (SAVR). The usefulness of this approach in patients with low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (LF-LG AS) has not been examined. The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic value of combined measures of multiple blood biomarkers in patients with LF-LG AS treated conservatively… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
