Why the study?
Does right ventricular systolic dysfunction measured on preprocedural CMR predict mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation?

Preprocedural CMR assessment of RV function is an independent predictor of mortality after TAVI and may aid in risk stratification.
May aid TAVI risk stratification in observational cohorts; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
RV function, measured on preprocedural CMR, is an independent predictor of mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. CMR assessment of RV function may be important in the risk stratification of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
