Impact of Obesity on Persistent Left Ventricular Hypertrophy After Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis

Normalization of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is expected after successful aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS), but is not always observed. We tested the impact of body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 on persistent post-AVR LV hypertrophy. In the present subana...
