Sažetak
BACKGROUND: Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the most common cause of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in the western world, and increases in prevalence with ageing, overtaking 2-3 % of the population by the age of 65. So far, there is no official register of aortic valve stenosis patients in Croatia. It is very important to recognize the need to have proper follow up of these patients, concidering difficulties and challenges that arise in the daily work with these patients and follow up. METHODS: This study enrolled the patients undergoing aortic valve replacement due to simptomatic severe calcified aortic valve stenosis in University Hospital Center Osijek, in the period from 2007-2016. RESULTS: The data showed the overall number of patients undervent aortic valve replacement, distribution by gender, age, number of specific type of aortic valve prothesis (mechanical or biological), risk factors and atrial fibrillation. Hypetension was shown to be significantly more frequent risk factor in these patients than other risk factors, where significantly higher prevalence of hypertension is in female group in the time of AVR any type (p<0.001). Average age of male patients with mechanical AVR is 57±8 and female 56±9 years old, where number of male patients with mechanical AVR is significantly higer (p<0.005). Average age of male patient with biological AVR is 71±6 and female 71±4 years old, where number of females patients in this group is higher (p<0.005). CONCLUSION: This data could present valuable basis for the future register of aortic valve stenostis patients.
