Use of cardiac MRI for low gradient aortic stenosis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2010
Conclusion The absence of response to dobutamine may not be enough to preclude the presence of myocardial reserve in low flow/low gradient aortic stenosis. This small cohort raises the question that CMR-DE may be needed in pts that do not respond to LDD since the presence of myocardial reserve may affect the management of these pts and has prognositic ...

Sigmoid isostiffness-lines: An in-vitro model for the assessment of aortic stenosis severity

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
IntroductionThe aortic valve opening area (AVA), used to quantify aortic stenosis severity, depends on the transvalvular flow rate (Q). The currently accepted clinical echocardiographic method assumes a linear relation between AVA and Q.

A model based on clinical parameters to identify myocardial late gadolinium enhancement by magnetic resonance in patients with aortic stenosis: An observational study [PDF]

, 2020
Objective With increasing age, the prevalence of aortic stenosis grows exponentially, increasing left heart pressures and potentially leading to myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis and adverse outcomes.

The prognostic significance of stroke volume index in low gradient severe aortic stenosis: from the national echo database of Australia

The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
Approximately 50% of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in clinical practice present with ‘low-gradient’ haemodynamics. Stroke Volume Index (SVI) is a measure of left ventricular output, with ‘normal-flow’ considered as  > 35 ml/m2.

Early Aortic Valve Replacement in Symptomatic Normal-Flow, Low-Gradient Severe Aortic Stenosis: A Propensity Score–Matched Retrospective Cohort Study

Korean Circulation Journal, 2023
Author's summary The benefits of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in symptomatic normal-flow, low-gradient (NFLG) severe aortic stenosis (AS) are controversial and current guidelines do not recommend AVR in these patients. Through this study, we found that

High-sensitivity troponin I concentrations are a marker of an advanced hypertrophic response and adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis [PDF]

, 2014
Aims: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays hold promise in detecting the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in aortic stenosis.

Dobutamine Challenge for Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis [PDF]

Circulation, 2002
In adults with valvular aortic stenosis (AS), valve replacement is recommended in the presence of symptoms and severely reduced aortic valve area (AVA).1 In such patients, valve replacement improves symptoms and survival, even in the setting of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Aortic Stenosis, a Left Ventricular Disease: Insights from Advanced Imaging [PDF]

, 2016
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common primary valve disorder in the elderly with an increasing prevalence. It is increasingly clear that it is also a disease of the left ventricle (LV) rather than purely the aortic valve.
