Why the study?
Does aortic valve replacement improve left ventricular myocardial structure in patients with aortic stenosis and aortic insufficiency?
Does aortic valve replacement improve left ventricular myocardial structure in patients with aortic stenosis and aortic insufficiency?
Aortic valve replacement induces significant but incomplete long-term regression of left ventricular cellular hypertrophy and fibrosis in patients with aortic valve disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports partial LV reverse remodeling post-AVR; leaves open whether further regression improves outcomes in AS and AI.
Krayenbuehl et al. (1989) studied this question.
