Protocol: Caseload management and outcome of patients with aortic stenosis in primary/secondary versus tertiary care settings—design of the IMPULSE enhanced registryDOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2019-001019 Keywords: quality of care, aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, surgical aortic valve replacement, facilitated data relay Abstract: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common and most serious valve diseases. Without timely intervention with surgical aortic valve replacement or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, patients have an estimated survival of 2–3 years. Guidelines for the treatment of AS have been developed, but studies suggest that as many as 42% of patients with AS are not treated according to these recommendations
