| Popis: | Aim The effects of post-operative left ventricular mass regression (LVMR) on clinical outcome after aortic valve surgery remains to be established. This study was intended to establish the impact of patient characteristics on post-operative survival in patients referred for aortic valve replacement (AVR), with particular regard to LVMR. Methods and results Two hundred and sixty consecutive cases submitted to aortic valve replacement for valvular stenosis were prospectively followed for a mean of 28±9 months. Baseline, characteristics and extent of LVMR were tested for association with survival by uni- and multivariable analysis. Ten deaths occurred during hospital stay and 52 during out-of-hospital follow-up. Mean left ventricular mass decreased from 190±43 to 158±70 g/m2 ( P |
