Exercise testing to stratify risk in aortic stenosis

Abstract

AIMS: The aims of this study were to assess the accuracy of exercise testing in predicting symptom onset within 12 months in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis and to establish the criteria that define a positive test. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 125 patients with aortic stenosis [effective orifice area (EOA) 0.9+/-0.2 cm2] were assessed by Specific Activity Scale (SAS) classification, transthoracic echocardiography, and treadmill exercise testing using the modified Bruce protocol. During follow-up, 36 patients (29%) developed spontaneous symptoms within 12 months. Of these, 26 (72%) had had symptoms revealed by exercise testing and 24 (67%) had severe stenosis (EOA < or = 0.8 cm2). Exercise-limiting symptoms were the only independent predictors of outcome at 12 months, and an abnormal blood pressure response or ST segment depression did not improve the accuracy of the exercise test. The positive predictive accuracy for exercise-induced symptoms was 57% in the whole population and 79% for patients aged <70 in SAS Class I. The negative predictive accuracy was 87% in the whole population and 86% in the subgroup. CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of patients with apparently asymptomatic aortic stenosis experience limiting symptoms on treadmill exercise testing. The subsequent development of spontaneous symptoms is strongly related to the severity of stenosis and to limiting symptoms on exercise testing, but less so to an abnormal blood pressure response or ST segment depression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
