Why the study?
Is layer-specific longitudinal strain associated with symptoms and outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Is layer-specific longitudinal strain associated with symptoms and outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Endocardial longitudinal strain is independently associated with symptoms and clinical outcomes in severe aortic stenosis, highlighting its potential value as a prognostic imaging marker.
Endocardial LS may aid prognostication in severe AS; hypothesis-generating for layer-specific strain integration into risk models.
In patients with severe AS, LS impairment involves all myocardial layers and is more prominent in the advanced phases of the disease, when the symptoms occur. In this setting, the endocardial LS is independently associated with symptoms and patient outcome.
