Systemic blood pressure in severe aortic stenosis: Haemodynamic correlates and long ‐term prognostic impact
ConclusionsIn severe AS patients, lower MAP reflects lower systemic vascular resistance and valvulo-arterial impedance, which may help to preserve stroke volume and filling pressures despite reduced left ventricular performance, and lower MAP is a predictor of higher long-term post-AVR mortality.
