Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the impact of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) on global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
- It involved 108 patients who underwent echocardiography before surgery, a week after, and at twelve months post-surgery, with findings showing an initial decrease in GLS that later improved significantly, particularly in patients with mild diastolic dysfunction.
- The results indicate that while SAVR initially reduces GLS regardless of diastolic dysfunction severity, it ultimately leads to recovery of GLS over time, especially in those with grade I dysfunction.
