How Do Cardiovascular Biomarkers Behave in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis with and without Echocardiographically Proven Pulmonary Hypertension?—A Retrospective Study of Biomarker Trends before and after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

How Do Cardiovascular Biomarkers Behave in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis with and without Echocardiographically Proven Pulmonary Hypertension?—A Retrospective Study of Biomarker Trends before and after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Background: Since right heart catheterization is rarely performed in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), echocardiography is currently the tool of choice to determine the presence or absence of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) has established it...
