The timing of periodic clinical assessment in asymptomatic patients with severe AS is dependent on comorbidities, patient-specific characteristics, and the severity of the AS (Table 4). Aortic velocity 4.0 m/s, which indicates severe AS, is associated with a rapid onset of symptoms and a 2-year event-free survival rate of only 30% to 50%. Periodic monitoring is required in patients with severe AS who are asymptomatic since the onset of symptoms is gradual and the patient may not be aware of them.  The typical annual rate of advancement for moderate AS (aortic velocity 3.0-3.9 m/s) is a rise in velocity of 0.3 m/s, an increase in the mean pressure gradient of 7 mm Hg, and a decrease in valve area of 0.1 cm2. There is significant individual variation, with older individuals and patients with more severe leaflet calcification progressing more quickly. Within five years, 10% of patients with aortic sclerosis—defined as localized regions of valve calcification and leaflet thickening with an aortic velocity 2.0 m/s—progress to severe AS. Patients with BAV illness are also at risk for developing increasing valve stenosis, with AS being the most typical indication for BAV patient intervention (Section 5.1.1).

Overview

Follow up is recommended for all patients with operated and unoperated aortic stenosis. Asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis should undergo follow up since aortic stenosis is an ongoing disease that progresses with time. In fact, asymptomatic patients should undergo follow up every 1 year, 3 years and 5 years in case of severe, moderate and mild aortic stenosis respectively.[1]

Follow-Up

Frequency of echocardiograms in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis with normal stroke volume:

  • Progressive (stage B) with mild severity (Vmax 2.0-2.9 m/s): every 3-5 years
  • Progressive (stage B) with moderate severity (Vmax 3.0-3.9 m/s): every 1-2 years
  • Severe (stage C) (Vmax>4 m/s): every 6-12 months

2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines[2]

The timing of periodic clinical assessment in asymptomatic patients with severe AS is dependent on comorbidities, patient-specific characteristics, and the severity of the AS (Table 4). Aortic velocity 4.0 m/s, which indicates severe AS, is associated with a rapid onset of symptoms and a 2-year event-free survival rate of only 30% to 50%. Periodic monitoring is required in patients with severe AS who are asymptomatic since the onset of symptoms is gradual and the patient may not be aware of them. The typical annual rate of advancement for moderate AS (aortic velocity 3.0-3.9 m/s) is a rise in velocity of 0.3 m/s, an increase in the mean pressure gradient of 7 mm Hg, and a decrease in valve area of 0.1 cm2. There is significant individual variation, with older individuals and patients with more severe leaflet calcification progressing more quickly. Within five years, 10% of patients with aortic sclerosis—defined as localized regions of valve calcification and leaflet thickening with an aortic velocity 2.0 m/s—progress to severe AS. Patients with BAV illness are also at risk for developing increasing valve stenosis, with AS being the most typical indication for BAV patient intervention (Section 5.1.1).
