Management of Aortic Stenosis - William Suh, MD - UCLA Health

Explore a comprehensive lecture on the management of aortic stenosis delivered by UCLA interventional cardiologist William Suh, MD. Delve into coronary artery disease, covering risk assessment, early detection, and treatment methods with a focus on minimally invasive catheterization via wrist arteries. Gain insights into various aspects of cardiac health, including normal artery function, angina, noninvasive tests, and the criteria for invasive cardiac catheterization. Understand the process of plaque rupture and the intricacies of cardiac catheterization procedures from both groin and arm approaches. Examine the advantages and challenges of radial procedures, including the learning curve for cardiologists. Investigate the diagnosis and treatment of severe inoperable aortic stenosis, exploring options such as aortic valve replacement and balloon valvuloplasty. Learn about advanced technologies like the Edwards Sapien valve and Medtronic Core Valve, and understand the importance of risk calculation and various diagnostic approaches in managing complex cardiac conditions.
