In the developed world, aortic stenosis (AS) represents the most prevalent valvular heart disease. The final stage of AS is transformation of the aortic valve in a severely restricted, thickened, calcific valve; however, the initiating process is less likely to be a degenerative one, but rather similar to atherosclerotic plaque formation. The process is age-dependent: more than 25% of individuals…

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease of worsening left ventricular outflow obstruction. In the early stage of the disease, the prognosis is excellent with a very small risk of sudden death (<1 % per year).1–3 However, the development of a haemodynamically severe stenosis and the onset of symptoms herald a dramatic deterioration in prognosis. At this point, aortic valve replacement …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvular heart disease in developed countries,1 with a steady increase in prevalence as the population ages. Progressive degeneration of aortic leaflets,2 age-related and enhanced by common cardiovascular risk factors,3 is the most frequent aetiology. Besides ‘calcific’ AS (the valvular disease of the elderly), the second most frequent aetiology is…

There has been a considerable evolution in technology since the initial description of 3D echocardiography several decades ago.1 The first generation of 3D probes performed gated acquisition with static rendering of images, but not in realtime. The second generation did to an extent allow realtime imaging, but the relatively low density of active elements (approximately 300) resulted in a low…
