Key result
Left ventricular hypertrophy after aortic valve replacement predicts worse outcomes, emphasizing the need for future trials targeting ventricular remodeling beyond valve replacement alone.
Highlights the importance of left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling in aortic stenosis, suggesting that future interventions should target the ventricle in addition to valve replacement.

Post-AVR LVH warrants monitoring but not targeted therapy yet; leaves open whether remodeling interventions improve outcomes beyond valve replacement.
Gavina et al. (2012) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis with left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy after aortic valve replacement predicts worse outcomes, emphasizing the need for future trials targeting ventricular remodeling beyond valve replacement alone.
