Impact of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure as a marker for diastolic dysfunction on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement Impact of LVEDP on TAVR outcomes

CONCLUSION: Elevated post-procedural LVEDP in patients who undergo TAVR is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality. Furthermore, PH, and tricuspid regurgitation were also identified as predictors for mortality. This data confirms that diastolic dysfunction is an important predictor for mortality in TAVR and should be considered to guide procedure timing favoring an early interventional approach and management in aortic stenosis patients.PMID:37944865 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.10.005
