Predictors of aortic stenosis severity reclassification with imaging data fusion method in patients qualified for TAVI.

CONCLUSIONS: IDFM reclassified a substantial proportion of patients with severe AS into potentially moderate AS group and from low-flow to normal-flow AS group. Such regrouping calls for increased diagnostic prudence in AS patients, especially those with specific clinical and echocardiographic predictors of reclassification, such as DM or low AMG.
