Low-flow in aortic valve stenosis patients with reduced ejection fraction does not depend on left ventricular function

CONCLUSION: In patients with low-flow severe aortic stenosis, low transaortic gradient and cardiac output are not primarily due to LV dysfunction or global changes in gene expression, but may be attributed to other additional cardiac pathologies like mitral regurgitation, atrial fibrillation or right ventricular dysfunction. These factors should also be considered during planning of aortic valve replacement.PMID:38236417 | DOI:10.1007/s00392-023-02372-4
