Background: The mortality risk attributable to moderate aortic stenosis (AS) remains incompletely characterized and has historically been underestimated. We aim to evaluate the association between moderate AS and all-cause death, comparing it with no/mild AS (in a general referral population and in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction).
Methods And Results: A systematic review and pooled meta-analysis of Kaplan-Meier-derived reconstructed time-to-event data of studies published by June 2023 was conducted to evaluate survival outcomes among patients with moderate AS in comparison with individuals with no/mild AS.

Background A total of 40% of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have low-gradient AS, raising uncertainty about AS severity. Aortic valve calcification, measured by computed tomography (CT), is guideline-endorsed to aid in such cases. The performance of different CT-derived aortic valve areas (AVAs) is less well studied.

- Malnutrition is prevalent in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER), with 74.4% showing some level of malnutrition, but only 20% classified as moderate-severe.
- In a study of 892 patients from the MIVNUT registry, moderate-severe malnutrition was found to significantly increase the risk of mortality (hazard ratio of 2.1) and heart failure admissions (subdistribution hazard ratio of 1.6) during a follow-up period averaging 1.6 years.
- The findings suggest that evaluating nutritional status in patients undergoing TEER could enhance risk assessment and potentially improve patient outcomes.
