Background Accurate risk stratification is important to improve patient selection and outcome
of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a dynamic degenerative process that shares many pathophysiological
features with atherogenesis, from initial proinflammatory calcification and focal thickening of …

Objectives Recently, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) assessed by CT was identified as an
independent mortality predictor in patients with various cardiac diseases. Our goal was to …
