Association of Inadequately Low Left Ventricular Mass with Enhanced Myocardial Contractility in Severe Degenerative Aortic Stenosis

Association of Inadequately Low Left Ventricular Mass with Enhanced Myocardial Contractility in Severe Degenerative Aortic Stenosis

Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), traditionally considered an adaptive mechanism that is aimed at the maintenance of LV systolic function, is absent in 10%⁻35% of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Our aim was to estimate the clinical and hemodynamic characteristics i...
