21 Evaluation of pts with AS and Calculate standard measures of Stenosis Severity and LV EF Severity of Ao valve calcification Assess risk:benefit of AVR Dobutamine Stress Echo in selected cases: Hemodynamic response Contractile reserve LV dysfunction

22 Plot of the relationship between mean gradient (y-axis) and transvalvular flow (x-axis, bottom) according to the Gorlin formula for 3 different values of AVA (0.7, 1.0, and 1.5 cm2) Grayburn, P. A. Circulation 2006;113:

23 DSE in low gradient AS Low dose dobutamine: Startwith25to5mcg/kg/min 2.5 to 5 Incremental doses up to maximum 20 mcg/kg/min Measure gradient, EF and stroke volume.

24 Dobutamine stress echocardiography in aortic stenosis

25 Dobutamine stress echocardiography in aortic stenosis

26 Low dose DSE Fixed AS AVA does not increase with increase in EF Pseudo AS AVA increases with increase in EF

27 DSE in low gradient AS LV contractile reserve: Increase in peak velocity >0.6 m/s Increase in stroke volume >20% Increase in mean transvalvular pressure gradient >10 mm hg

28 Kaplan-Meier survival estimates by group and treatment Monin, J.-L. et al. Circulation 2003;108:

29 Low dose DSE Fixed AS AVA does not increase with increase in EF (SURGERY) Pseudo AS AVA increases with increase in EF (MEDICAL Rx) Lack of cardiac reserve No improvement in cardiac output or ejection fraction (look at baseline gradient, CAD, other comorbidities)

34 Risk Stratification in Severe AS 163 asymptomatic pts with severe AS (iava 0.6 cm²/m², Sinus rhythm, preserved LVEF 55%) Risk stratification by consideration of ventricular, vascular and valvular components of the disease Risk factors: Peak aortic jet velocity, Valvulo-arterial impedance, longitudinal strain, indexed LA area Multivariate Analysis Lancellotti, - FR - FP 4093 Highlight Session 2009

35 Purpose Assess the impact of increased valvulo-arterial l l impedance on LV torsional dynamics in pts with severe aortic stenosis and preserved LV ejection fraction Methods 71 pts with severe AS and preserved LVEF Zva 4,5 mmhg ml -1 m 2 Group 1-33 pts (Zva 4,5 mmhg ml -1 m 2 ) Group 2-38 pts (Zva < 4,5 mmhg ml -1 m 2 ) - Group comparison for clinical and echocardiographic parameters Group comparison for clinical and echocardiographic parameters were obtained for categorical variables with χ 2 test and for continuous variables with Student s t test (SPSS 13). A. Călin et al. EuroEcho 2010

36 LV untwisting parameters Group 1 Group 2 n=33 n=38 p Time to peak apical backrotation rate 0.54± ± Time to peak basal backrotation rate 0.50± ± Time to peak LV untwisting rate 0.51± ± EuroEcho 2010

37 Conclusions In severe AS, LV untwisting is significantly delayed in pts with significantly increased global LV afterload, when compared to those with lower global afterload, despite similar LV dimensions, ejection fraction and torsion These results suggest that increased global LV afterload might impair LV untwisting and thus contributes to increased LV filling pressures in this setting EuroEcho 2010

38 Myocardial Fibrosis in Low Gradient Aortic Valve Stenosis Group 1: mgrad 40mmHg, EF 50% Group 2: mgrad < 40mmHg, EF 50% Group 3: mgrad < 40mmHg, EF < 50% p<0.01 Severe Fibrosis Mild Fibrosis No Fibrosis In severe aortic stenosis a low mean gradient is associated with: Lower longitudinal myocardial function Higher degree of interstitial / subendocardial Fibrosis Poor long term outcome Herrmann- FR - FP 2861 Highlight Session 2009

39 Patient Evaluation Clinical Assessment Symptoms, comorbidities Physical Examination Echocardiography Key examination to confirm diagnosis and assess severity and prognosis Check consistency between echo findings (severity, mechanism, anatomy of valvular disease) and clinical assessment

40 Echocg Assessment of Aortic Stenosis Use clinical judgement Take your time and your best pictures Use TEE if bad window If still in doubt: Use other methods (cath??)
