Usefulness of Valvuloarterial Impedance to Predict Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis
The first critical task in the management of AS is accurate assessment of its severity and overall clinical impact. Because Zva does not separate relative contributions of AS and the associated hypertension, high resistance, and low arterial compliance of the overall load imposed on the LV, it fails...
