Breaking Barriers: Women with AS – A Conversation with Dr. Kendra Grubb and Dr. Janine Eckstein
Description
In this episode, Dr. Kendra Grubb and Dr. Janine Eckstein take a closer look at the unique challenges faced by women with aortic stenosis (AS) and explore how transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is transforming outcomes for female patients. They dive into the disparities in clinical outcomes between women undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) versus TAVR, and share their insights on how tailored approaches to care can help improve patient outcomes.
For additional context, check out this meta-analysis by Panoulas VF et al., which highlights how women have historically shown worse clinical outcomes with surgery compared to TAVR.
Tune in to hear Dr. Grubb and Dr. Eckstein’s perspectives on this important topic and learn how advancements in structural heart therapies are helping to address gender-specific challenges in treating AS.
