Title: Sex-differences in Aortic Stenosis: impact for evaluation and treatment

Description: Sex-differences in aortic stenosis are present from pathophysiology to presentation. These differences have implications for severity assessment of aortic stenosis. Finally, presentation and associated sex-specific response to the disease could orient towards sex-specific treatment in aortic stenosis.

Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the presentation of aortic stenosis in women
- Revise the use of multi-modality imaging in aortic stenosis according to presentation pattern
- Propose possible sex-specific treatments of aortic stenosis
