Asymmetric myocardial thickening in aortic stenosis
Background Asymmetric wall thickening has been observed in aortic stenosis (AS) but the clinical importance is poorly understood. We hypothesized this pattern was associated with advanced remodeling and worse outcomes. Methods Left ventricular volumes, wall thickness and mass were assessed in 166 patients (70 [64, 76] years; 69% males) with cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Diffuse myocardial ...
متن کاملAdverse prognosis associated with asymmetric myocardial thickening in aortic stenosis
Aims Asymmetric wall thickening has been described in patients with aortic stenosis. However, it remains poorly characterized and its prognostic implications are unclear. We hypothesized this pattern of adaptation is associated with advanced remodelling, left ventricular decompenzation, and a poor prognosis. Methods and results In a prospective observational cohort study, 166 patients with ao...
متن کاملMyocardial contractility and afterload in aortic stenosis
Background In aortic stenosis(AS) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction(LV EF), circumferential and longitudinal systolic strains(CSt, LSt) are reduced but the underlying mechanisms are uncertain. Conventional indices of afterload(A) per unit of myocardium are suboptimal for strain analysis and based on inaccurate assumptions about myocardial properties, while conventional contractilit...
متن کاملThe risk of the development of aortic stenosis in patients with "benign" aortic valve thickening.
BACKGROUND Aortic valve thickening (AVT) without aortic stenosis (AS) is common and was often considered benign. However, it has recently been found to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is unknown whether patients with AVT are at risk for the development of AS. METHODS Our echocardiography database from 1987 to 1993 was searched for cases of AVT with at least 1 year of ...
متن کاملSUPRAVALVAR AORTIC STENOSIS IN CHILDREN REPORT OF THIRTEEN CASES
During 15 years from 1975 to 1990, thirteen cases of supravalvar aortic stenosis were admitted at the pediatrics department of Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All patients were subjected to cardiac catheterization and a angiocardiography. Patients ranged in age from 3.5 years to 14 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Seventy seven percent of childen were male. Eight cases (61.5%) had Wil...
