A 63-year-old woman presents to the cardiology clinic for follow-up visit for aortic stenosis. Three months ago, the patient had a transthoracic echocardiogram that showed severe aortic stenosis with an ejection fraction of 45%. Subsequent exercise tolerance testing showed the patient had significant worsening of chest pain and shortness of breath with exertion. She has no other past medical history and does not currently take any medication. Vital signs are within normal limits. On physical examination, the patient appears fatigued but is not in distress. Cardiac auscultation reveals an S4 heart sound. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally, and there is mild bipedal edema. Which of the following is the best next step in management?
