Impact of Early Menopause and Hormonal Therapy Replacement on Aortic Stenosis Progression.

Can J Cardiol

January 2025

Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec, Université Laval, Québec city, Québec, Canada. Electronic address:

Background: Early menopause has been associated with several cardiovascular diseases. Its impact on the progression of aortic stenosis (AS) remains unknown. We conducted an analysis to examine the impact of early menopause without hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on the progression of AS in postmenopausal women with AS.

Background: Mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase (MARCH5) as an important regulator in maintaining mitochondrial function. Our aims were to investigate the role and mechanism of MARCH5 in aortic valve calcification.

Methods: Human aortic valves, both calcified and non-calcified, were analyzed for MARCH5 expression using western blot.

Background: The initial outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with left ventricular outflow tract calcification are poor. Furthermore, balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with an increased risk of annular rupture, and self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with worse post-operative residual paravalvular leakage grades. Therefore, developing an optimal method for transcatheter aortic valve replacement for patients with left ventricular outflow tract calcification is desirable.

Background: Access-related vascular complications (VCs) after percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are associated with poor clinical outcomes and remain a significant challenge despite technological advances. The aim of this study was to identify anatomic predictors of access-related VCs after TAVR on preprocedural contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
