3 Symptom (simp tŏm). Any morbid phenomenon or departure from the normal in structure, function, or sensation, experienced by the patient and indicative of disease. (1) Symptom (simp təm). [L. symptoma; Gr. symptōma anything that has befallen one]. Any subjective evidence of disease or of a patient s condition, i.e., such evidence as perceived by the patient; a noticeable change in a patient s condition indicative of some bodily or mental state.

4 Predictors of Outcome in Severe, Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis Patients with moderate or severe valve calcification and those with rapid increase in aortic jet velocity have an event rate of 79% at 2 years. Conclusions:.... However, outcomes vary widely.... These patients should be considered for early valve replacement rather than have surgery delayed until symptoms develop. R. Rosenhek, MD..... Helmut Baumgartner, MD N Engl J Med 2000;343:611-7
