Abstract 208: Impact of Symptoms and Degree of Valvular Regurgitation on Patient-perceived Health Status in Patients With Aortic Regurgitation [Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II]
Conclusions: In stable outpatients with AI, KCCQ scores correlate with the presence of shortness of breath and heart failure symptoms, but are not affected by the degree of AI or history of aortic valve surgery. Symptoms rather than diagnosis drives patient perceived health status.
