A quiet valve, a loud message. 🫀
The 10-year follow-up of the RECOVERY trial in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that early surgery in asymptomatic very severe aortic stenosis is not premature—it is protective.
A striking reduction in cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.10, P=0.002) and sustained divergence of Kaplan–Meier curves challenge the long-held "watchful waiting" paradigm.
Perhaps we are not treating symptoms—but preventing myocardial destiny.
