Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) leads to an increase in the subendocardial viability ratio assessed by pulse wave analysis

Pulse wave analysis (PWA) is a useful tool for non-invasive assessment of central cardiac measures as subendocardial perfusion (Subendocardial Viability Ratio, SEVR) or contractility (dP/dtmax). The immediate influence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on these indices has not been in...

Zusammenfassung:Pulse wave analysis (PWA) is a useful tool for non-invasive assessment of central cardiac measures as subendocardial perfusion (Subendocardial Viability Ratio, SEVR) or contractility (dP/dtmax). The immediate influence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on these indices has not been investigated yet. We prospectively enrolled 40 patients presenting with severe aortic stenosis receiving TAVR. Central pressure curves were derived from radial and carotid sites using PWA up to 2 days before and 7 days after TAVR. Parameters were compared between peripheral measurement sites. Changes in SEVR, dP/dtmax and in indices of vascular stiffness were assessed. Additionally, association of these variables with clinical outcome was evaluated during a 12-month follow-up. Central waveform parameters were comparable between measurement sites. SEVR, but not dP/dtmax, augmentation Index (AIx) or augmentation pressure height (AGPH) correlated significantly with disease severity reflected by peak transvalvular velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient over the aortic valve (Vmax, ΔPm) [r = -0.372,p = 0.029 for Vmax and r = -0.371,p = 0.021 for ΔPm]. Vmax decreased from 4.5m/s (IQR:4.1-5.0) to 2.2m/s (IQR:1.9-2.7), (p
