Pressure gradient vs. flow relationships in patients with symptomatic valvular aortic stenosis — PREFLOW
These findings demonstrate the safety and feasibility of invasive hemodynamic exercise testing in patients with aortic stenosis and highlight heterogeneity in pressure-flow responses during exercise. Invasive hemodynamic assessment during exercise may help elucidate alternative contributing mechanisms to exertional dyspnea, particularly in patients with aortic stenosis and discordant symptoms and findings.
