Listen to the episode

Description

In this episode:

  • How health professionals must auscultate for murmurs in all patients over 65 years, and refer for an echo or to a cardiologist
  • How the symptoms of chest pain, syncope and dyspnoea appear late, and the prognosis is very poor with 50% mortality in two years
  • TAVI being a safe, effective, and highly cost-effective treatment for patients with aortic stenosis, and how we should be referring our patients earlier for consideration of this procedure
  • Its current availability for only privately insured patients, unfortunately
