The Prognostic Value of Left Atrial Global Longitudinal Strain and Left Atrial Phasic Volumes in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Valve Implantation for Severe Aortic Stenosis

Conclusion: Within 6 months after TAVI, there is reverse LA remodeling and an improvement in LA reservoir function. Pre- and post-TAVI indices of LA function and volume remain independently associated with MACE. Larger studies enrolling a greater diversity of patients may provide sufficient evidence for the utilization of these imaging biomarkers in clinical practice.Cardiology
