2. 1. Cardiac Function and Aortic Valve Intervention : Echocardiographic Studies of Myocardial Recovery in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Disease

   Author : Lena Forsberg; Eva Nylander; Éva Tamás; Odd Bech-Hanssen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In patients with severe aortic valve disease, aortic valve intervention is performed when the risk for mortality or morbidity with conservative management is significantly increased. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal motion decreases before conventional echocardiographic measures such as ejection fraction, are influenced in patients with severe aortic valve disease. READ MORE
