LV mass regression post-AVR is multifactorial; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before informing prosthesis choice or risk stratification.
Villa et al. (2006) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Aortic valve replacement was evaluated. Left ventricular mass regression after aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis is influenced by multiple factors, including prosthesis-patient mismatch, preoperative hypertrophy, and myocardial alterations.
