Improved Exercise Tolerance, Oxygen Delivery, and Oxygen Utilization After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation for Severe Aortic Stenosis
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an effective therapeutic procedure, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. We hypothesized that the decreased afterload induced by TAVI would improve exercise capacity by enhancing oxygen uptake in working muscles....
