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.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is commonly encountered in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). However, its independent impact on mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been established. Methods: We performed a systematic search for studies reporting characteristics and outcome of patients with and without significant MR and/or adjusted mortality associated with MR post-TAVI. We conducted a meta-analysis of quantitative data. Results: Seventeen studies with 20,717 patients compared outcomes and group characteristics. Twenty-one studies with 32,257 patients reported adjusted odds of mortality associated with MR. Patients with MR were older, had a higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons score, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, a higher incidence of prior myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, and a trend towards higher NYHA class III/IV, but had similar mean gradient, gender, and chronic kidney disease. The MR patients had a higher unadjusted short-term (RR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.30–1.65) and long-term mortality (RR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.18–1.65). However, 16 of 21 studies with 27,777 patients found no association between MR and mortality after adjusting for baseline variables. In greater than half of the patients (0.56, 95% CI 0.45–0.66) MR improved by at least one grade following TAVI. Conclusion: The patients with MR undergoing TAVI have a higher burden of risk factors which can independently impact mortality. There is a lack of robust evidence supporting an increased mortality in MR patients, after adjusting for other compounding variables. MR tends to improve in the majority of patients post-TAVI.

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) are the two most common valvular lesions referred for surgical intervention in Europe and frequently co-exist. In patients with both severe AS and significant MR referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), a concomitant mitral valve intervention is typically performed if the MR is severe, despite the higher associated perioperative risk. The management of moderate MR among SAVR patients is controversial and depends on a number of factors including MR aetiology (i.e., organic versus functional MR), feasibility of repair and patient risk profile. Moderate or severe MR is present in up to one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), is mainly of functional aetiology and is typically left untreated. Although data are conflicting, a growing body of evidence suggests that significant MR exerts an adverse effect on both short- and long-term clinical outcomes after TAVI. Moderate or severe MR improves in just over half of patients following TAVI and recent data suggest MR is more likely to improve among patients receiving a balloon-expandable as compared with a self-expandable transcatheter heart valve.

Abstract Background Relative apical sparing pattern (RASP) is thought to be associated with prognosis in patients with cardiac amyloidosis or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Although almost all patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have LVH, little is known about the effect of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe AS exhibiting a RASP. Purpose This study aimed to elucidate the effect of TAVI on left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LS; LVGLS) in patients with severe AS exhibiting a RASP. Methods Eighty-four patients who underwent transfemoral or subclavian TAVI were evaluated. They were divided into the RASP and non-RASP groups. The average apical LS divided by the sum of the average mid and basal LS values of >1.0 was defined as the RASP. We analyzed the difference between pre- and post-TAVI LVGLS (ΔGLS = post-TAVI LVGLS − pre-TAVI LVGLS). Results Of the 84 patients (mean age, 84.5±3.9 years; 24 men), 15 (17.9%) exhibited a RASP. No significant difference in mean pre-TAVI LVGLS was found between the RASP and non-RASP groups (−16.6% ± 3.8% vs. −15.8% ± 3.9%). The ΔGLS in the RASP group was significantly higher than that in the non-RASP group (−0.97% ± 2.5% vs. −2.6% ± 3.0%; P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that relative apical longitudinal strain was an independent predictor of ΔGLS (β = 0.35, p=0.002). Conclusion Relative apical longitudinal strain was associated with LVGLS recovery. The effect of TAVI on LVGLS in patients with a RASP is inferior to that in patients without a RASP.
