Why the study?
Does myocardial structure determine pre- and postoperative ventricular function and prognosis in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis?
Does myocardial structure determine pre- and postoperative ventricular function and prognosis in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis?
Myocardial structural abnormalities, particularly muscle cell nucleus volume, are independent predictors of ventricular function and mortality after aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Nuclear volume may refine post-AVR risk stratification in aortic stenosis; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Ole Lund (1998) studied this question.
