| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Electronic database searches will be PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane advanced search, and EMBASE. Compare CT-ECV between cardiovascular disease and controls. We will also examine differences in CT-ECV between AS and CA, since preoperative differentiation between aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is important in transcatheter aortic valve replacement. | — |
