摘要：

Patients with asymptomatic, severe aortic stenosis are at risk of cardiac death. In this Viewpoint, Pellikka and Sundt assert that aortic valve replacement should be considered in these patients, if surgery is likely to prolong life expectancy. Risk stratification of the asymptomatic aortic stenosis patient remains inadequate, however, and the decision to operate must be individualized, particularly in the elderly. The authors call for a randomized trial to help optimize the selection of patients for surgery.
