Determinants of changes in pulmonary artery pressure in patients with severe aortic stenosis treated by transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Conclusions: Independent predictors for baseline PAP in elderly patients with symptomatic AS were the BMI, GOLD class, the aortic regurgitation and the E/e' ratio. The baseline predictors for a change in PAP 6 months after TAVI were the baseline PAP and E/e', with only the change in the E/e' ratio being correlated to the change in PAP.
