Overview

Medical treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia according to the Guidelines is considered for patients with AS. Therapy with ACE inhibitor or ARB may reduce the mortality rate in patients with AS who underwent TAVI.

Medical Therapy

Recommendations for medical therapy in aortic stenosis
(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

❑ In patients at risk of developing AS (stage A) or asymptomatic AS (stage B,C), hypertension should be controlled by initiating low dose medications and titration doses based on clinical evaluation

(Class I, Level of Evidence A):

Statin therapy is recommended in all patients with calcified AS for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerosis

(Class IIb, Level of Evidence B):

ACEI or ARB may be considered after TAVI to reduce the long term risk of all cause mortality

NO benefit(Class III, Level of Evidence A):

Statin is not indicated in calcified AS (stage B,C) for prevention of hemodynamic progression of AS

The above table adopted from 2020 AHA-ACC Guideline[11]


Abbreviations: AS: Aortic stenosis; TAVI: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation;
