Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Age >= 18 years - No important aortic stenosis (AVA > 1.5 cm2, MAG = 50%) - Ability to undergo (exercise) stress testing - Ability to understand and the willingness to provide written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Any hemodynamic criterion for moderate or greater AS - Known, unrevascularized, and severe coronary artery disease (for example a 90% diameter stenosis or FFR15mm - Persistent atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled ventricular response - Recent (within 6 weeks) acute coronary syndrome - Estimated glomerular filtration rate =2 pulmonary inhalers (note that well-treated and stable asthma and GOLD stage 1 or 2 COPD is permitted) - Severe comorbid condition with life expectancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be purely descriptive and will include the calculation of mean, median, range values of the invasively measured SAVI. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation will be quantified by determining Peason's correlation coefficient between the different parameters of interest when comparing SAVI physiology and methodology (invasive versus non-invasive, with or without dobutamine). Agreement will be assessed by performing a Bland-Altman analysis. We anticipate that a two-dimensional scatterplot of SAVI (Ao/LV during dobutamine) versus Ao/LV at baseline will show a large and unpredictable heterogeneity of response, as we have already demonstrated for severe and low-gradient aortic stenosis. | — |
