Extent of cardiac damage before transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Beyond aortic stenosis per se.

Key Points The cardiac damage classification characterized the extent of cardiac pathology associated with AS before AVR. Such classification has important prognostic implications for clinical outcomes and repeat HF or CV hospitalizations after TAVR. Adjunctive cardiac pathology could extend beyond AS per se, which makes it a wide‐ranging syndrome with diverse prognostic and therapeutic implications.
