Imaging-led stratification of conduction risk in bicuspid TAVI

Recent Publication


 

A new article from the Division of Internal Medicine III (St. Pölten University Hospital) shows: Accurate CT images can be used to better predict whether patients will need a pacemaker after heart valve surgery. The doctors suggest that certain features in the heart should be measured precisely and taken into account during planning. This allows risks to be better assessed and perhaps even avoided. The work was published in the European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging and highlights an important research focus at St. Pölten University Hospital.
