Effect of aortic valve replacement on left ventricular systolic function, left ventricular mass index reduction and clinical outcome in early post-operative period in patients with aortic stenosis

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) causes chronic left ventricular pressure overload, resulting in ventricular hypertrophy, remodeling and progressive impairment of ventricular function. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) relieves the pressure overload, but the extent of early ventricular recovery remains clinically importan...
