Exercise testing to stratify risk in asymptomatic moderate and severe aortic stenosis
Methods and results Out of a total 33 patients with moderate severe to severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis (mean aortic area EOA 0.9±0.34 cm2) we followed up 31 patients (two were excluded) during the 12 months’ period by clinical, transthoracic echocardiogram and treadmill stress testing. 18 (58%) patients discontinued the test due to limiting symptoms, and had severe aortic stenosis (EOA ≤0.8 cm2).
