Aortic pulse wave velocity and its relationship with transaortic flow and gradients in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe AS undergoing AVR, aortic stiffness measured using cfPWV is not a determinant of low-flow state. Instead, an increasing cfPWV tends to be associated with increasing transvalvular flow and gradient in these patients. PMID: 33189205 [PubMed - in process]
