Cardiac Damage Staging in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incremental Value of Global Longitudinal Strain and Right Ventricular-Arterial Coupling

Staging cardiac damage in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed as a prognostic tool. Other authors have shown that these staging systems are related with mortality. The aim of this study was to perform an external validation of the predictive capacity of the staging system proposed by Généreux et al.
