Impact of Associated Significant Aortic Regurgitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling and Hemodynamic Impairment in Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis

Objectives: The left ventricular (LV) response to combined pressure and volume overload [aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR)] versus pressure overload (isolated AS) has not been systematically studied. We aimed to assess LV remodeling, functional and hemodynamic consequences in patien...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives: The left ventricular (LV) response to combined pressure and volume overload [aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR)] versus pressure overload (isolated AS) has not been systematically studied. We aimed to assess LV remodeling, functional and hemodynamic consequences in patients with mixed aortic valve disease versus patients with isolated AS. Methods: We enrolled 181 patients (67 ± 9 years, 109 men) with severe AS (aortic valve area indexed to body surface area
