Predictors of outcome in severe, asymptomatic aortic stenosis.

TL;DR: The presence of moderate or severe valvular calcification, together with a rapid increase in aortic-jet velocity, identifies patients with a very poor prognosis and these patients should be considered for early valve replacement rather than have surgery delayed until symptoms develop.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late prognostic value of flow-mediated dilation in the brachial artery of patients with chest pain.

TL;DR: In this paper, Ross et al. showed that CRP levels do not correlate with the extent and severity of coronary narrowing assessed by angiography, and other mechanisms such as acute inflammation with plaque instability and rupture may explain the higher cardiovascular event rate in patients with elevated CRP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcome of Watchful Waiting in Asymptomatic Severe Mitral Regurgitation

TL;DR: Asymptomatic patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation can be safely followed up until either symptoms occur or currently recommended cutoff values for LV size, LV function, or pulmonary hypertension are reached.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural History of Very Severe Aortic Stenosis

TL;DR: Despite being asymptomatic, patients with very severe aortic stenosis have a poor prognosis with a high event rate and a risk of rapid functional deterioration and early elective valve replacement surgery should be considered in these patients.
