| Popis: | Introduction The relationship between severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) and Left Ventricular (LV) dysfunction is well established. However, there is a paucity of data regarding LV functional recovery after TAVI. Purpose To study the clinical and echocardiographic parameters associated with LV functional recovery after TAVI. Methods We evaluated all patients who underwent TAVI between 2009–2020 in a tertiary medical center. We included patients with pre-procedural LV Ejection Fraction (LVEF) of 40% and below. All patients had baseline and in-hospital post-procedural echo, and their clinical characteristics were recorded in a designated TAVI registry. LV functional recovery was defined as an absolute increase in at least 10% in LVEF post-procedurally. No LV recovery was defined as an absolute change of up to ±10% in post-procedure LVEF, and LVEF deterioration was defined as an absolute decrease of more than 10% in post-procedural LVEF compared to baseline. Univariate analysis consisting clinical and echocardiographic factors for LV functional recovery was performed, followed by logistic regression adjusting for confounders. Results Out of 1,349 consecutive TAVI patients, 100 (7.4%) had LVEF of 40% or less. There were 69 (69%) men with a mean age of 82±8 years, and average BMI of 27±4 kg/m2. Prior coronary artery disease and hypertension were present in 34 (34%) and 21 (21%) of patients, respectively. Out of these 100 patients, 32 (32%) had achieved LV functional recovery and no patient had experienced LVEF deterioration (FIGURE). Mean Left Ventricular End Systolic Diameter (LVESD) was 3.79 and 4.43 in the LV functional recovery and no LV recovery groups, respectively. Mean aortic pressure gradient was higher among patients who had LV functional recovery compared to no LV recovery (45.9 vs. 31.5 mmHg, respectively). Multivariable analysis revealed parameters that were independently associated with LV functional recovery: Coronary artery disease – OR 5.29 (95% CI 1.59–20.44), LVESD – OR 0.87 (95% CI 0.8–0.95) for each 1 mm increment and mean aortic pressure gradient – OR 1.91 (95% CI 1.21–3.28) per each 10 mmHg increment. Conclusion In patients with severe AS and LV dysfunction undergoing TAVI, the presence of coronary artery disease, increased aortic pressure gradient and reduced LVESD were associated with early LV functional recovery.
