Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the prognostic value of autonomic markers in patients with aortic stenosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Autonomic function will be assessed by presence of severe autonomic failure (defined by combination of abnormal heart rate turbulence and deceleration capacity).

    Autonomic function will also be assessed by respiration and repolarization abnormalities.

    Study Design

    Study Type:
    Observational
    Actual Enrollment :
    423 participants
    Observational Model:
    Cohort
    Time Perspective:
    Prospective
    Official Title:
    Risk Prediction in Aortic Stenosis by Cardiac Autonomic Function

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Total mortality [2 years]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Cardiovascular mortality [2 years]

    2. Combination of cardiovascular mortality and cardiac adverse events [2 years]

    3. Correlation of presence of autonomic dysfunction with severity of aortic stenosis [at time of cardiac catheterization, which will be performed at an expected average of 3 days after hospital admission]

      It will be assessed whether patients with cardiac autonomic dysfunction have more severe aortic stenosis. Autonomic dysfunction will assumed to be present when patients suffer from "severe autonomic failure" (i.e. combination of abnormal Heart Rate Turbulence and Deceleration Capacity). Severity of aortic stenosis will be assessed by clinical (symptoms, NYHA class), hemodynamic (mean aortic gradient, aortic valve area) and biochemical (Nt-BNP, high sensitive troponins) markers.
