Abstract Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for a stenotic aortic valve reduces the ventricular to aortic gradient and is expected to improve diastolic and systolic left ventricular function over the long-term. However, information about the early hemodynamic changes are lacking. To address this open question, we performed invasive pressure volume loop analysis prior and immediately after TAVI. Methods Invasive left ventricular pressure volume loop analysis was performed in 8 patients with aortic stenosis (mean 81.3 years) prior and immediately after transfemoral TAVI (conductance catheter). Parameters for global hemodynamics, afterload, contractility and the interaction of the cardiovascular system were analyzed. Results After TAVI, left ventricular ejection fraction (53.9% vs. 44.8%, p=0.018) as well as parameters for myocardial contractility such as preload recruitable stroke work (68.5 vs. 44.8mmHg, p=0.012) and endsystolic elastance (3.55 vs. 2.17, p=0.036) declined significantly compared to baseline. As sign of impaired diastolic function, TAU, a preload-independent measure of isovolumic relaxation (37.3 vs. 41.8ms, p=0.018) and enddiastolic pressure (13.1 vs. 16.4mmHg, p=0.015) increased after valve implantation. Contrarily, decreased ventricular-arterial coupling indicated early improvements in global cardiovascular energy efficiency (1.40 vs. 0.97 p=0.036). Arterial elastance had a strong correlation with the number of conducted rapid ventricular pacings (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.772, p=0.025). Conclusion Invasive left ventricular pressure volume loop analysis revealed impaired systolic and diastolic function in the early phase after TAVI in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Contrarily, decreased ventricular-arterial indicated early improvement of global cardiovascular energy efficiency. PV Loop pre and post TAVI Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Aims A growing number of patients is undergoing transcatheter treatment of severe Aortic Stenosis. Changes in cardiac mechanics after removal of afterload in these patients are under-investigated. Myocardial Work (MW) is emerging as a useful non-invasive correlate of invasively measured myocardial performance and oxygen consumption. Aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of non-invasive MW indices in the clinical assessment of patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results Consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis referred for TAVI in a single tertiary centre were included. Echocardiography recordings (GE-Healthcare) with systolic and diastolic non-invasive pressures, were obtained immediately before TAVI and after TAVI to measure myocardial work index (MWI), myocardial constructive work (MCW), myocardial wasted work (MWW), and myocardial work efficiency (MWE). Consecutive patients with severe AS (n = 73) undergoing TAVI and matched controls (n = 50) were included. Mean transaortic gradient, AV area, and peak transvalvular velocity were significantly improved (all P < 0.05). No changes in left ventricular ejection fraction nor in global longitudinal strain (GLS) were observed. GWI (P < 0.001) and GCW (P < 0.001) were significantly reduced after TAVI. On the contrary, we observed no significant change in GWW (P = 0.241) nor GWE (P = 0.854). Women had higher GWI (P = 0.007) and GCW (P = 0.014) compared to men, with a larger delta change of GCW. Patients with a low flow low gradient (LF-LG) AS had lower LVEF (P < 0.001), worse GLS (P < 0.001) and lower baseline GWI (P < 0.001), GCW (P < 0.001), and GWE (P = 0.003). The improvement in GWI and GCW observed after TAVI in the general study population were abolished among LF-LG patients. Conclusions The use of non-invasive myocardial work might be useful to further classify patients with AS and could be useful to predict non responders.
