【 摘 要 】

Background: Detecting among patients with aortic stenosis (AS) those who are likely to rapidly progress, yet potentially benefiting from prophylactic aortic valve replacement, is needed for improved patient care. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of imaging biomarkers in predicting the progression to clinical symptoms and death in patients with AS.
