About this trial
This study will investigate changes right ventricular function and functional recovery metrics after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AVA <1.0 cm2/<0.6cm2/m2 or mean gradient >40mmHg or jet velocity >4.0 m/s).
Disqualifiers
Extracardiac limitations of ambulatory exercise, cardiac rehab opt out, non-transfemoral TAVI, haemodynamic instability/cardiogenic shock, LVEF <40%, poorly controlled AF, severe COPD, primary pulmonary hypertension, evidence of cardiac amyloid, more than moderate concomitant valvular heart disease other than aortic stenosis, previous sternotomy, permanent pacemaker implant, patients enrolled in another study where participation would involve deviation from either protocol.
