• Abstract

  Patients with aortic valve regurgitation or stenosis have myocardial hypertrophy mechanisms that include cellular stimuli capable of promoting the formation of diffuse fibrosis. The importance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the evaluation of myocardial structure and function is already established. A new method for evaluating fibrosis by CMR, called T1 mapping, has been dev…

• Abstract

  The intensity of calcification constitutes the main determinant of the onset of symptoms in degenerative aortic stenosis (DAS). Although there is significant amount of studies evaluating the degree of aortic valve calcification as a predictor of clinical events in DAS, there are no studies assessing the impact of topographic distribution of calcification in the hemodynamic consequences. O…
