Abstract

AbstractAim of the present study was to describe the left ventricular longitudinal strain (LS) in all myocardial layers in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in different LV geometry and to compare LS analysis before and early after acute LV unloading provided by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). 68 patients were enrolled. LS was measured from the endocardial layer (Endo-LS), epicardial layer (Epi-LS) and full thickness of myocardium (Transmural-LS) before and after TAVI. Patients were divided in two groups accordingly with relative wall thickness (RWT): concentric LV hypertrophy (cLVH) vs eccentric LV hypertrophy (eLVH). Less impaired values of LS at baseline were observed, in all layers, in patients with cLVHas compared to patients with eLVH (Endo-LS was − 13.2 ± 2 vs − 11.1±3 %, p = 0.041; Epi-LS was − 11.8 ± 1.8 vs − 9.9 ± 3 %, p = 0.043; Transmural-LS was − 12.3 ± 1.8 vs − 10.49 ± 3.3 %, p = 0.02, respectively). A significant improvement in endocardial LS (Endo-LS) after TAVI was detected only in cLVH(− 13 ± 2 vs − 14 ± 2, p = 0.011). Our findings documented that concentric LVH had better basal strain function and showed a better myocardial recovery after TAVI compared to eLVH.
