Sažetak
Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is a prevalent and worrisome healthcare problem. Patients with symptomatic severe AS have an indication for aortic valve replacement. Indication for operation remains controversal in patients with isolate, asymptomatic severe AS. North American and European guidelines agree on a class I indication for operation in patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<50%) but are inconsistent for patients with other disease or comorbid factors. The natural history of aortic stenosis should be better quantified to improve understanding of benefits and harms of intervention vs conservative treatment. Aim: searching for latest knowledge about management of asymptomatic, severe AS and identification of highest risk patients that will have benefit from early intervention.
