Many patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) don’t know they have it—until they show up at the ER in crisis. AS can remain silent until it’s critical. You are your patients’ first line of defense. Screen all patients 65 and older at every visit. If you hear a murmur, refer them immediately for an echocardiogram. Early detection can help saves lives.
Your vigilance can prevent a silent condition from becoming an emergency.
By the time symptoms appear, it may be too late. Your proactive screening and timely referral can prevent avoidable deaths.
Timely detection is essential. Your clinical vigilance helps ensure patients receive treatment before severe complications arise.
Early recognition of heart valve disease is essential, and your expertise can help patients receive lifesaving treatment before symptoms escalate.
Severe AS can progress rapidly, with symptom onset that is often unpredictable and may even be life-threatening.
If you detect what could be severe AS, immediate action is critical. Refer your patients for an echocardiogram.
