Valvular heart diseases. (8). Post operative regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with aortic stenosis.

Diastolic left ventricular pressure-volume and stress-strain relations in patients with valvular aortic stenosis and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Left ventricular (LV) chamber and myocardial stiffness were determined in 17 patients, four subjects with normal LV function and 13 subjects with valvular aortic stenosis and concentric myocardial hypertrophy, using simultaneous catheter micromanometry and LV cineangiography. Pressure (P), volume (V), and wall thickness (h) were measured. Variability in both chamber and myocardial stiffness par...

Short-Term Regression of Left Ventricular Mass After Aortic Valve Replacement in Aortic Stenosis With Left Ventricular Concentric Hypertrophy

Left ventricular ejection time in valvular aortic stenosis.

Hemodynamic data obtained at cardiac catheterization from 40 patients with valvular aortic stenosis demonstrated that, although left ventricular ejection time was prolonged, the usual linear inverse relationship between heart rate and ejection time was preserved at a longer than normal mean ejection time. In contrast to this, the direct linear relationship between ejection time and stroke volum...

Left ventricular hypertrophy with strain and aortic stenosis.

BACKGROUND ECG left ventricular hypertrophy with strain is associated with an adverse prognosis in aortic stenosis. We investigated the mechanisms and outcomes associated with ECG strain. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and two patients (age, 70 years [range, 63-75 years]; male, 66%; aortic valve area, 0.9 cm(2) [range, 0.7-1.2 cm(2)]) underwent ECG, echocardiography, and cardiovascular magne...
