Even mild aortic stenosis linked to raised mortality: Aus study
Data from a large cohort of patients undergoing repeat echocardiography underlines the need for better surveillance of at-risk patients, researchers say
Australian researchers have determined the age and sex-specific incidence rates of aortic stenosis in the largest cohort of cardiac patients yet examined, they believe.
And they demonstrate that the condition is linked to higher risk of death, even in people with mild aortic stenosis (AS).
