Popis: Introduction: Valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) is used for assessment of left ventricular (LV) global pressure load in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and impaired arterial compliance. Since patients with coarctation of aorta (COA) have impaired arterial compliance, we hypothesized that COA patients with ≥moderate AS (AS-COA group) will have higher Zva, symptomatic progression, and cardiovascular events, as compared to non-COA patients with similar AS severity (AS group). Methods: 1:1 propensity matching of 71 AS-COA and 71 AS patients based on age, sex, body mass index, and aortic valve mean gradient. Results: The AS-COA group had higher Zva (4.2±0.6 vs 3.5±0.4 mmHg/ml*m 2 , p2 increase in Zva). Of 172 patients, 117 underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR). The AS-COA group had higher residual Zva(3.3±0.5 vs 2.4±0.4 mmHg/ml*m 2 , p2 increase in Zva). Conclusions: Adults with repaired COA repair and moderate-severe AS had higher LV global pressure load, cardiac remodeling, symptomatic progression, and cardiovascular events as compared to non-COA patients with similar severity of AS. Zva can identify patients at risk for adverse outcomes, and perhaps should be used for risk stratification with regards to timing of AVR.
