Abstract
Abstract in Undetermined
Aims: To examine how left atrioventricular plane displacement ( AVPD), a widely used measure of left ventricular (LV) function, is related to presence and degree of aortic stenosis. Methods and results: Cardiac dimensions, LV filling, left AVPD, LV ejection fraction (LVEF), and valve function were assessed by echocardiography/Doppler in 182 patients with various cardiac diseases (mean (SD) age 69 (12) years, 36% women), 49 consecutive with and 133 consecutive without aortic stenosis. In an analysis of covariance, neither left AVPD nor LVEF was independently correlated with the presence of aortic stenosis. However, looking separately at patients with aortic stenosis, left AVPD (p = 0.03) but not LVEF correlated... (More)

In an analysis of covariance, neither left AVPD nor LVEF was independently correlated with the presence of aortic stenosis. However, looking separately at patients with aortic stenosis, left AVPD (p = 0.03) but not LVEF correlated independently with degree of aortic stenosis in multiple linear regression analysis. In patients with aortic stenosis, an abnormal left AVPD had 94% sensitivity and 90% negative predictive value with regard to severe aortic stenosis, compared with 56% and 62%, respectively, for LVEF. Conclusion: In patients with cardiac disease, neither left AVPD nor LVEF correlated independently with presence of aortic stenosis. However, in patients with aortic stenosis, left AVPD but not LVEF correlated with the degree of aortic valve obstruction and left AVPD but not LVEF had high sensitivity and negative predictive value with regard to severe aortic stenosis. Compared with LVEF, left AVPD is an earlier and more sensitive marker of LV haemodynamic load in patients with aortic stenosis. (Less)
