Aortic stenosis – We are missing it and yet it’s easier to treat than ever before

Listen to the episode

Description

In this Healthed lecture, Prof Andrew Sindone explains that the impact of aortic stenosis, even when NOT severe, is underestimated, so too is its prevalence. Only a minority of patients with treatable AS are being detected. GPs need to auscultate every patient’s chest and investigate murmurs with an ECHO. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has revolutionised treatment and recent changes to reimbursement mean that it is even more available.
