Recommended Echo Follow-Up Intervals in Aortic Stenosis
Source: Circulation-TCTMD MARCH 18, 2026
Takeaways:
• In >20,000 AS patients, guideline-based echo follow-up ↓ mortality and ↑ timely AVR
• Biggest gap: severe AS under-followed (~50%)
Recommended Echo Follow-Up:
• Mild AS: every 3–5 years
• Moderate AS: every 1–2 years
• Severe AS: every 6–12 months
Key point:
Follow-up interval depends on disease severity — not symptoms alone.
