Key result
Aortic valve replacement for isolated aortic valve stenosis decreased LV mass and mass index across all valve sizes, with significant reductions observed in the 19mm and 21mm groups.
Why the study?
Does aortic valve replacement with different valve sizes reduce left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with isolated aortic valve stenosis?

Rim et al. (1997) conducted a cohort in Isolated aortic valve stenosis (n=40). Aortic valve replacement vs. Different valve sizes was evaluated on Reduction of left ventricular mass and mass index. Aortic valve replacement for isolated aortic valve stenosis decreased LV mass and mass index across all valve sizes, with significant reductions observed in the 19mm and 21mm groups.
