Association of Natriuretic Peptide Levels After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Subsequent Clinical Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Among those with aortic stenosis, natriuretic peptide levels can provide risk stratification, predict symptom onset, and aid decisions regarding the timing of valve replacement. Less is known about the prognostic significance and potential clinical utility of natriuretic peptide levels measured after valve replacement.

Objective

To determine the associations of elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and change in BNP levels between follow-up time points with risk of subsequent clinical outcomes.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at intermediate, high, or prohibitive surgical risk for aortic valve replacement who underwent TAVR
