AI Article Synopsis

  • Limited data on strain changes after TAVI in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) was explored in this study.
  • Three patients experienced an initial decrease in global longitudinal strain (GLS) after TAVI, but showed significant improvement within the first year.
  • The results suggest that GLS may be a better indicator than left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ratio for evaluating patients with severe volume overload.

Article Abstract

Background: Limited data exist on strain changes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR).

Case Summary: Three patients with AR undergoing TAVI showed an initial reduction in global longitudinal strain (GLS), followed by sustained GLS improvement within the first year.

Discussion: Findings align with those of surgically treated patients with AR. There is a possible superiority of GLS to left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ratio in assessing patients with severe volume overload.
