Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the outcomes of 369 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) from 2014 to 2021 based on their preoperative aortic stenosis (AS) symptoms, which included asymptomatic, chest pain, heart failure (HF), and syncope.
- The overall survival rates at 1 and 5 years post-TAVR varied across the groups, with asymptomatic patients having the highest survival rates, while those presenting with syncope or heart failure had poorer outcomes.
- Notably, preoperative syncope emerged as a strong predictor of increased risk for heart failure readmission or cardiac death following TAVR, indicating that symptom presentation significantly influences post-operative results in AS
