Key result
Aortic valve stenosis and arterial hypertension demonstrated a similar prevalence of inappropriate left ventricular mass (24% vs 27.5%), despite greater absolute LV mass in aortic stenosis.
Why the study?
Does aortic valve stenosis induce a different prevalence of inappropriate left ventricular mass compared to arterial hypertension?
Observational (n=300)
Does aortic valve stenosis induce a different prevalence of inappropriate left ventricular mass compared to arterial hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 24% vs 27.5%
Despite different loading conditions, patients with aortic valve stenosis and arterial hypertension have a similar prevalence of inappropriately high left ventricular mass.

Similar inappropriate LV mass prevalence in aortic stenosis and hypertension despite differing loads; hypothesis-generating for shared remodeling pathways.
Mureddu et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Aortic valve stenosis and arterial hypertension (n=300). Aortic valve stenosis vs. Arterial hypertension was evaluated on Prevalence of inappropriate left ventricular mass (LVM). Aortic valve stenosis and arterial hypertension demonstrated a similar prevalence of inappropriate left ventricular mass (24% vs 27.5%), despite greater absolute LV mass in aortic stenosis.
