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.
