Outcome of Patients With Both Moderate Aortic Stenosis and Moderate Mitral Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to investigate the symptoms and prognosis of patients with both moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral stenosis (MS).

Methods and results

We studied 82 patients with moderate AS and MS diagnosed via transthoracic echocardiography. The patients had a mean age of 79 ± 13 years and 95% of patients had degenerative MS. Out of 82 patients, 34 (41%) had heart failure (HF) symptoms (New York Heart Association class ≥ Ⅱ) or a history of HF admission. Left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume index, atrial fibrillation, and right ventricular systolic pressure were independent determinants of HF symptoms. The median follow-up duration was 3.2 (interquartile range, 1.0-4.9) years and clinical events occurred in 48 (59%) patients, including death in 11 (1
