Mean Aortic Pressure Gradient and Global Longitudinal Strain Recovery after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement - a Retrospective Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In high-risk patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis, GLS is impaired and more impaired in patients with reduced EF. Higher baseline MPG predicts myocardial function recovery. GLS improvement after TAVR is related to relief of pressure overload. PMID: 29374578 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
