Biological age links to death risk after heart valve replacement
In two cohorts of 937 and 470 heart valve replacement patients, faster biological aging was linked to higher mortality over two to three years.In two cohorts of 937 and 470 heart valve replacement patients, faster biological aging was linked to higher mortality over two to three years.
Cohort · 470 peopleBiomarkers
Who was studied470 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, two years
What changedDeath risk was higher with greater physiological imbalance after valve replacement, with hazard ratios above 1.5
The catchFollow-up covered only two to three years, limiting longer-term death-risk estimates
