Why the study?
Does PW-TDI detect early subclinical myocardial dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe chronic aortic regurgitation and preserved LVEF compared to healthy controls?
Does PW-TDI detect early subclinical myocardial dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe chronic aortic regurgitation and preserved LVEF compared to healthy controls?
PW-TDI reveals subclinical left ventricular dysfunction, indicated by lengthened LV MPI and reduced systolic myocardial velocities, in asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe chronic AR and normal LVEF.
May support PW-TDI to identify subclinical LV dysfunction in asymptomatic AR with preserved LVEF; leaves open prognostic value and management impact.
