Can restrictive filling pattern on dobutamine stress echocardiography predict recovery of left ventricular systolic function after valve replacement in patients with low flow-low gradient aortic stenosis?

Can restrictive filling pattern on dobutamine stress echocardiography predict recovery of left ventricular systolic function after valve replacement in patients with low flow-low gradient aortic stenosis?

Background: Low flow/low gradient severe aortic stenosis continues to be a common medical problem with spontaneous dismal prognosis if left untreated. Relationship between improvement and persistence of restrictive filling pattern (that is present on baseline echocardiography) on DSE (dobutamine str...
