Risk Prediction in Aortic Stenosis (PREDICT-AS)

February 5, 2014 updated by: Axel Bauer, Thebiosignals.com

Risk Prediction in Aortic Stenosis by Cardiac Autonomic Function

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

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardiovascular mortality
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years
Combination of cardiovascular mortality and cardiac adverse events
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years
Correlation of presence of autonomic dysfunction with severity of aortic stenosis
Time Frame: 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.
