abstract={Aortic stenosis is a progressive condition with a grim prognosis,
underscoring the importance of timely intervention to prevent
decompensation. Home monitoring systems, particularly those utilizing
ambient sensors, offer promise in detecting early signs of deterioration.We
present the case of an 89-year-old woman who was asymptomatic but
monitored using such a system prior to experiencing acute decompensation.
Key clinical indicators, including increased night-time heart rate, respiration
rate, toss and turns in bed, and nocturia, were observed several months
before hospitalization. Additionally, reduced physical activity and increased
toilet visits were noted.These findings highlight the potential of ambient
sensor systems in identifying pre-clinical stages of cardiac decompensation,
especially in severe aortic stenosis cases. Integrating ambient sensor
systems into routine clinical practice holds promise for enhancing proactive
