Do physical activity and exercise performance predict long-term prognosis in middle-aged women surviving acute coronary syndrome?
In female patients <66 years surviving ACS, important independent predictors of long-term all-cause mortality were sedentary lifestyle, low physical fitness and inadequate pulse rate and SBP increase during exercise. Predictors of cardiovascular mortality were sedentary lifestyle and inadequate blood pressure response during exercise.
The AVR with a stented bioprosthesis is a standard procedure with excellent results, the postoperative gradient is comparable to the gradient of the stentless valves.
