Prognosis of Aortic Stenosis
Valvular Aortic Stenosis Prognosis Study: Prospective and Retrospective Follow-up of a Cohort of Patients With Aortic Valve Narrowing
This study looks at how aortic stenosis affects both patients with and without symptoms to see what risks they face and improve their care.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis, a common heart valve condition, using transthoracic ultrasound for assessment. It focuses on both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients to better understand the risks associated with this condition. The study will analyze data from patients examined between 2000 and 2014, specifically looking at those with a narrowing of the aortic valve. The aim is to improve prognostic accuracy and patient management in aortic stenosis cases.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis who have undergone echocardiographic evaluation.
Not a fit: Patients who have previously undergone aortic valve surgery or refuse to participate will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of aortic stenosis prognosis, leading to better patient outcomes and management strategies.
How similar studies have performed: Similar studies have shown promise in improving prognostic assessments for aortic stenosis, indicating that this approach is supported by existing research.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Retrospectively, all patients examined from January 1, 2000 to November 2014 will be included in the echocardiography laboratory whose objective examination is a narrowing of the aortic valve (maximum transaortic velocity ≥2.5 m / s). * Aortic stenosis may be known in the past. Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal of the patient to participate in the study. * Patients who have previously had aortic valve surgery before being examined in the echocardiography laboratory. * Patients who can not be contacted or who do not respond will not be included in the database.
