*Significant predictor.

Multivariate Cox regression analysis for predictors of an adverse outcome (cardiac death and rehospitalisation for decompensated heart failure) for the entire study group, conservatively treated patients and patients who underwent valve surgery.

AVR, aortic valve replacement; NT‐proBNP, N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide; NYHA, New York Heart Association.
