ESC Congress 2026 Abstract
Mitral valve pressure is linked to death after valve replacement
Among 849 patients followed for a median of 4.6 years, each millimeter of mercury increase in pressure carried a hazard ratio for death of 1.13.Among 849 patients followed for a median of 4.6 years, each millimeter of mercury increase in pressure carried a hazard ratio for death of 1.13.
Cohort · 849 peopleBiomarkers
Who was studied849 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, median 4.6 years
What changedLate mortality was higher with each 1 mmHg increase in transmitral pressure gradient (adjusted hazard ratio 1.13)
The catchOnly patients who survived to complete heart scans after discharge were analyzed
