The benefits of an AS intervention may be considered a balance between a good QoL and a reasonably extended life. However, the different questionnaires being used to determine the QoL were generally not developed for the specific situation of patients with AS and come with strengths and considerable weaknesses. The objective of this article was to provide an overview of the available QoL instruments in AS research, describe their strengths and weaknesses, and provide our assessment of the utility of the available scoring instruments for QoL measurements in AS.<h4>Summary</h4>We identified and reviewed the following instruments that are used in AS rCardiology556-570https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10733944biostudies-literatureQuality of Life Measures in Aortic Stenosis Research: A Narrative Review.PMC10733944Romano Mvan Ginkel DJKurucova JLuske CMKennon SBor WBramlage PKasel MStyra RBacker OFrank DBonaros NHachaturyan VDi Mario CfalseQuality of Life Measures in Aortic Stenosis Research: A Narrative Review.<h4>Background</h4>Elderly patients with aortic stenosis (AS) not only have a reduced life expectancy but also a reduced quality of life (QoL).
