“…A meta-analysis with 33 studies showed a 37% prevalence of coronary disease in patients with calcifi ed aortic stenosis 3 . In our series, the 40% prevalence of coronary disease proved to be within the average of the above mentioned range, as had also been verifi ed in wellconducted studies performed by LUND et al 19 Mautner et al 20 and Paquay et al 21 .…”

“…Furthermore, a distinction between typical and atypical pain was made in only one series. 30 The inclusion of patients with chest pain and aortic valve gradients as small as 10 mm Hg29 inevitably selects patients who are likely to have severe coronary artery disease. The converse is seen in our series in which no patients with syncope had significant coronary disease (Table 2).…”

“…It has been suggested that the resultant myocardial ischemia or infarction secondary to severe coronary artery disease leads to a fall in the systolic pressure gradient acros the aortic valve. Nevertheless, severe angina pectoris may occur in the abse nce of coronary artery disease in those who have a rugh degree of obstructive aortic valve disease and a valve area of 0.5 cm 2 or less (4,7,10,13). The c1irucal feature of crescendo angina in our patient led us to believe that significant coronary artery disease was at least partially responsible for generating the symptoms.…”
