Condition: Aortic Valve Stenosis
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Platelet Adhesion in the Pathobiology of Aortic Stenosis
Brief Summary:
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a serious and common condition that affects 2-3% of the population >65 years of age in Western countries.It is also responsible for extraordinarily high healthcare expenditures, estimated to be over $6 billion annually,2 in part because the primary treatment for severe AS is aortic valve replacement (AVR) which is resource-intensive.Valve abnormalities are frequently recognized before AS becomes severe, or before there is need for guideline-directed procedural intervention, thereby…
