Improved HRV, Inflammation Markers and Endothelial Function After TAVI (bTAVI)

November 8, 2020 updated by: Luka Vitez, University Medical Centre Ljubljana

Improved Heart Rate Variability, Inflammation Markers and Endothelial Function After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Severe aortic valve stenosis is known to affect heart haemodynamics, endothelial function and body inflammation markers. Our aim is to investigate the weather transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis affects heart rate variability, inflammation markers and endothelial function.
