Characteristics, prognosis of moderate aortic stenosis

ConclusionThe results of this study show that patients with MAS present many cardiovascular risk factors, a high rate of surgery and increased mortality compared to the general population, mainly related to comorbidities. Patients with MAS should therefore be managed for their cardiovascular risk factors and require close follow-up, especially when the AVA is close to 1 cm2, as AVR is associated with better survival.
