Abstract
A simple clinical model to predict presence of myocardial fibrosis in patients with aortic stenosis
Highlights
Both midwall and infarction-related fibrosis affect prognosis in patients with aortic stenosis
CMR remains the gold standard for identification of replacement fibrosis, its use can be limited by patient suitability, cost and availability
113 patients with moderate or severe aortic stenosis underwent transthoracic echocardiography to assess the severity of stenosis and CMR to determine the presence of midwall fibrosis or infarction
