Great work by my colleague Ankur Sethi MBBS FACC, published in Structural Heart and featured in Cardiovascular Business, that highlights the need for timely #TAVR in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Key findings: - Delaying TAVR in severe #aorticstenosis (AS) patients increases healthcare costs by $10,000 per year.** - Delays due to incomplete evaluations, referral issues, and systemic barriers lead to higher costs and increased mortality risk.
