Predictors of outcomes in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis: results of the multicenter TOPAS Study.

abstract：:The elevated blood pressure and vascular resistance in patients with systemic hypertension are paralleled by a proportional rise in pressure and resistance in the lesser circulation. We evaluated the hypothesis that the increased systemic reaction to adrenergic stimulation is shared by the pulmonary vessels. For this ...
