Women With Moderate or Severe Aortic Stenosis by Aortic Valve Area Are Disproportionately Classified With Normal‐Flow Low‐Gradient Aortic Stenosis and Assigned Lower Severity Grades Than Men
Women with moderate or severe AS<sub>AVA</sub> have markedly higher rates of NF-LG AS than men and are more likely to be assigned a lower AS severity grade based on current guidelines, despite mortality similar to NF-HG AS. Discordance in AS severity between AS<sub>AVA</sub> and AS<sub>GL</sub> is common in both genders, although more common in women.
