Learning Objectives:
- Present a case of asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis to discuss surveillance versus early intervention, informed by EARLY TAVR trial data on hospitalization reduction and ventricular preservation.
- Assess case challenges like symptom detection and stroke risk, with strategies for stress testing and patient selection in low-risk cohorts.
- Review implications from the case for guideline updates and long-term follow-up, emphasizing quality-of-life benefits in proactive TAVR approaches.
