      <p><i>Objectives - </i>To investigate whether preoperative echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular function, especially right ventricular systolic and diastolic parameters including speckle-tracking analysis, could aid in the prediction of 30-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with aortic stenosis. <p><i>Methods - </i>This is a prospective observational ...
    • Risk scores for prediction of 30-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Results from a two-center study in Norway

      Objectives: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)-specific risk scores have been developed based on large registry studies. Our aim was to evaluate how both surgical and novel TAVI risk scores performed in predicting all cause 30-day mortality. In addition, we wanted to explore the validity of our own previously developed model in a separate and more recent cohort.<p> <p>Methods: The ...
