Recurrence of syncope after valve replacement in severe aortic stenosis

Conclusions Syncope on exertion in patients with SAS did not recur after aortic valve intervention. Syncope at rest recurs in a high proportion of patients and identifies a population with increased mortality. According to our results, syncope at rest should be thoroughly evaluated before proceeding to aortic valve intervention.
