In patients undergoing TAVR, CHS is prevalent in 22% of patients and is associated with increased postinterventional mortality. Thus, CHS should be included in the decision-making process within the TAVR heart team. Cardiohepatic syndrome (CHS) as defined by an elevation of at least two of three laboratory cholestasis parameters above the upper limit of normal was prevalent in 22% of patients undergoing TAVR for severe AS. The presence of CHS was associated with more severe heart failure symptoms and worse three-year survival.
