Classic triad of Aortic Stenosis
classic triad of Aortic Stenosis:
Q1. What is the classic clinical triad of severe aortic stenosis?
Q2. Angina in aortic stenosis is mainly due to:
Q3. Syncope in aortic stenosis most often occurs during:
Q4. Dyspnea in aortic stenosis is primarily due to:
Q5. Presence of the triad in aortic stenosis indicates:
Q6. Average survival after angina in AS (no valve replacement):
Q7. Average survival after syncope in AS (no valve replacement):
Q8. Average survival after heart failure in AS (no valve replacement):
Q9. Definitive treatment for symptomatic severe AS:
Q10. Which feature is NOT part of the classic AS triad?
Q11. Mechanism of exertional syncope in AS:
Q12. LV hypertrophy in AS leads to:
Q13. Which symptom carries the worst prognosis?
Q14. Most common first symptom of severe AS:
Q15. Which type of hypertrophy is seen in AS?
Q16. Prognosis of severe AS without symptoms:
Q17. Best test to confirm AS severity:
Q18. Angina in AS with normal coronaries is due to:
Q19. Which symptom is least specific for AS severity?
Q20. The presence of the triad in AS mandates:
| Symptom | Average survival without valve replacement | Clinical takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Angina | ≈ 5 years | Indicates limited coronary reserve — consider AVR evaluation. |
| Syncope (exertional) | ≈ 3 years | Sign of advanced disease — urgent cardiology assessment recommended. |
| Dyspnea / Heart failure | ≈ 2 years | Worse prognosis — prompt valve intervention usually required. |
Prognosis of Severe Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis
| Prognosis of Severe Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis | |
| Angina → Average survival ≈ 5 years (if untreated) Syncope (exertional) → Average survival ≈ 3 years Dyspnea / Heart failure → Average survival ≈ 2 years Once symptoms appear → prognosis declines rapidly Valve replacement (surgical or transcatheter) dramatically improves survival |
