Pattern of left ventricular (LV) adaptation and degree of hypertrophysurrogate
In patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis, LV hypertrophy and adaptation patterns assessed by CMR do not closely correlate with valve narrowing severity, with asymmetric thickening being common.
Resumen
We have demonstrated that in patients with moderate and severe aortic stenosis, the pattern of LV adaption and degree of hypertrophy do not closely correlate with the severity of valve narrowing and that asymmetric patterns of wall thickening are common.
