Gait Speed Predicts 30-Day Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Background— Surgical risk scores do not include frailty assessments (eg, gait speed), which are of particular importance for patients with severe aortic stenosis considering transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Methods and Results— We assessed the association of 5-m gait speed with outcomes in a cohort of 8039 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (November 2011–June 2014) and were included in the Society of Thoracic...
