ASSOCIATION OF D-DIMERS WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN MILD TO MODERATE AORTIC STENOSIS: RESULTS FROM THE PROGRESSA STYDY

Aortic stenosis (AS) induces hypertrophy and remodeling of the left ventricle (LV), which are key markers of the transition to heart failure. However, the optimal timing of intervention in AS remains uncertain and new tools are needed to optimize the management of these patients. Therefore, the aim of present study was to evaluate the association between D-dimer plasma levels, LV hypertrophy, and mortality in patients with mild or moderate AS.
