Why the study?
Is myocardial blood flow per unit mass reduced in patients with severe aortic stenosis compared to normal controls?
Is myocardial blood flow per unit mass reduced in patients with severe aortic stenosis compared to normal controls?
Myocardial blood flow per unit mass is reduced in severe aortic stenosis, which appears primarily related to differences in left ventricular stress and reduced contractility.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reduced MBF in severe AS may reflect LV stress; leaves open prognostic value or therapeutic implications.
Johnson et al. (1978) studied this question.
