Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease in which left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is common. However, the association between diastolic dysfunction and right ventricular (RV) loading conditions and function has not been investigated in asymptomatic AS patients.
Methods And Findings: A total of 41 patients underwent right heart catheterization and simultaneous echocardiography at rest and during maximal supine exercise, stratified according to resting diastolic function.
Article Synopsis
- In aortic stenosis (AS), symptoms don’t always match how severe the condition is based on usual tests.
- Researchers studied if something called end-systolic wall stress (ESWS) affects symptoms in patients with AS.
- They found that patients with symptoms had more heart changes and higher ESWS, which was linked to their symptoms.
Left atrial (LA) dilation in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) may be an indicator of advanced disease. We aimed to investigate the association between LA volume index and left ventricular (LV) morphology assessed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), and to assess the association with cardiac events. Ninety-two asymptomatic patients with aortic valve area <1 cm, aortic peak jet velocity >3.
