Clinical evaluation reports postoperative event risks in asymptomatic aortic valve regurgitation patients, highlighting left ventricular dilation thresholds.
Background: We determined the left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVDs) cut-off value for risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in Japanese asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic valve regurgitation (AR), and investigated the effect of left ventricular dilation on long-term postoperative outcomes.
