Brief Summary:
Our main hypothesis on the present study is that new parameters such as risk-taking behavior, patients motivation, health related quality of life, new biomarkers and more precise echocardiography measures in addition to traditional parameters will improve pre-operative risk assessment in patients with AS and better guide patients and doctors in decision whether to operate or not.

Group/Cohort
Elderly with severe aortic stenosis
Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis referred for consideration of surgical aortic valve replacement



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Death due cardiovascular events [ Time Frame: one year ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. MACE ( Major cardiovascular events ) [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Cerebral complications (stroke/bleeding), bleeding, renal failure, arrythmias, needs for pacemaker, prolong ICU stay, wound infections


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in Health related Quality and function one year after inclusion [ Time Frame: one year ]
    Patients in the study perform Short Form-36, EuroQual-5D at inclusion and one year after. We want to compare the result of their scoring to obtain the gain in HRQoL of the intervention

  2. Hospital visit and use of Health services last years [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
