N2 - The severity of aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) and gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to anemia (Heyde's syndrome). We investigated how anemia is linked with AS and AVWS using the LA100 mouse model and patients with AS. Induction of anemia in LA100 mice increased transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 activation, AVWS, and AS progression. Patients age >75 years with severe AS had higher plasma TGF-β1 levels and more severe anemia than AS patients age <75 years, and there was a correlation between TGF-β1 and anemia. These data are compatible with the hypothesis that the blood loss anemia of Heyde's syndrome contributes to AS progression via WSS-induced activation of platelet TGF-β1 and additional gastrointestinal bleeding via WSS-induced AVWS.
