Incidence of hemodynamic valve deterioration 1y post #TAVI was 6.2% in a retrospective cohort study, with ⬇️ valve size associated w/early HVD 🔗: https://t.co/DUdysi6lar @EishanAshwatMD @DSGMD @Amber_MakaniMD @Irsa_Hasan @CatalinPToma @IbrahimSultanMD @annalsthorsurg @HviUpmc

Early HVD, per VARC-3 criteria, is an important outcome after TAVI. Our findings: 🔹HVD in 6.2% of pts 1-yr post-TAVI 🔹Smaller valve size ↑ HVD risk 🔹Larger valves = protective @IbrahimSultanMD @DSGMD @HviUpmc @annalsthorsurg 📎 https://t.co/9Jov9KtQwV
