Cohort

Follow-up

28 +/- 17 months

Discussion

Implication

Consider idiopathic root dilatation in severe AR evaluation; leaves open whether dilatation extent should guide intervention timing.

Structured PICO

Population

102 patients with severe aortic regurgitation

Outcome

Relation of aortic root dilatation to aortic regurgitation, left ventricular size and function, and need for aortic valve replacement

Idiopathic aortic root dilatation is a common cause of severe aortic regurgitation, with generalized dilatation associated with worse ventricular dysfunction and higher rates of valve replacement.
