Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between cardiac damage (classified by hospital discharge codes) and in-hospital outcomes for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) using data from a large national sample.
- It analyzed nearly 3 million hospital admissions from 2016 to 2021, noting significant impacts of cardiac damage on mortality, length of stay, and costs, particularly for those undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
- Findings indicate that patients with higher stages of cardiac damage experience worse in-hospital outcomes, with those receiving SAVR showing the most dramatic differences compared to other treatment options like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and conservative management.
