Resumo

AimsDespite expected improvement in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the complex relationship between pre-existent LV systolic and diastolic function and changes in LV haemodynamics and clinical symptoms have been scarcely investigated. This study investigated the presence of pre-operative LV diastolic dysfunction and its improvement over time after TAVI alongside improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.
