Heart-Valve-Surgery, in collaboration with Medtronic, has introduced the "Aortic Stenosis Patient Activation Platform," a new digital tool designed to raise awareness, provide education, and empower patients dealing with aortic valve stenosis.
Aortic stenosis, characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve, can strain the heart and lead to serious symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and fatigue.
Non-Invasive Cardiology at MetroHealth, emphasizes the urgency of addressing aortic stenosis, noting that without treatment, up to half of patients may not survive beyond 24 months after the onset of symptoms.
Emory Structural Heart & Valve Center, highlights that a significant portion of patients remain untreated due to misdiagnosis or neglect of symptoms.
Treatment options for aortic stenosis, including surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), have seen a notable increase in usage over the past decade.
Aims to bridge gaps in awareness and education by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, patient-centric algorithms, and geolocation strategies.
The platform's ability to facilitate real-time connections between patients and specialized heart teams, utilizing a comprehensive set of digital tools.
Providing durable, minimally invasive solutions for aortic stenosis patients & acknowledges the importance of partnering with Heart-Valve-Surgery.com and heart teams nationwide to advance this critical initiative.
