Background: Clinicians encounter sudden death among aortic stenosis (AS) patients especially after they become symptomatic. Mortality is 50% at 1 year and 70 to 80% at 2 years without aortic valve replacement. However, there have been few studies that investigate the predictor for short-term sudden cardiac arrest in patients with severe AS. We investigated the […]
