In Italy, 280,000 people suffer from aortic stenosis, with over 12,000 minimally invasive valve replacements performed annually, yet 15% of patients do not survive beyond a year post-surgery; recent studies suggest that assessing factors such as autonomy, nutritional status, and physical performance is crucial for determining patients' risks, thereby advocating for a more personalized approach to treatment rather than relying solely on age and existing conditions. #AorticStenosis #CardiovascularHealth #PatientCare #IT
