There is a paucity of epidemiological data on the prevalence of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) after the recent demographic changes and in the present therapeutic era. We sought to assess the prevalence of AS in an elderly population of an Italian urban area and to derive an epidemiological estimate of AS prevalence on a larger scale.

There is a paucity of epidemiological data on the prevalence of degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) after the recent demographic changes and in the present therapeutic era. We sought to assess the prevalence of AS in an elderly population of an Italian urban area and to derive an epidemiological estimate of AS prevalence on a larger scale.File in questo prodotto:
