1 One third of these high-risk patients remain severely symptomatic or die 1 year after treatment and half of all deaths are due to non-cardiac causes.
2 TAVR patients provide a unique opportunity to study multiple chronic conditions (MCC) for older adults with advanced cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here, we examine patterns of MCC present at the time of treatment and explore associations with short- and long-term patient-centered outcomes. …
