Introduction: In aortic stenosis (AS), there are clear sex differences in clinical presentation,
left ventricular (LV) response to pressure overload, and pathophysiology of valvular …

Background It is unclear whether obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), either alone or in
combination, induce left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) independent of hypertension. In the …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a progressive disease that carries a poor prognosis. Patients are
managed conservatively until satisfying an indication for transcatheter aortic valve …

Pathological left ventricular hypertrophy is a common feature of many cardiac diseases. It
results from both myocyte hypertrophy and interstitial expansion. Interstitial expansion is …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a well-set diagnostic technique for
assessment of valvular heart diseases and is gaining ground in current clinical practice. It …

Non-rheumatic aortic stenosis (AS) is among the most common valvular diseases in the
developed world. Current guidelines support aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe …

Aims Aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) frequently coexist but the diagnosis
of CA in AS patients remains a diagnostic challenge. We aim to evaluate the …

Background—Recent works using echocardiography suggested that low gradient (LG), low
flow (LF) aortic stenosis (AS) has more pronounced left ventricular (LV) concentric …

Background Left ventricular (LV) remodeling and its transitions from compensatory
adaptations to LV dysfunction have not been examined in adolescents with perinatally …

Abstract Purpose of Review Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common presentation
encountered in clinical practice with a diverse range of potential aetiologies. Differentiation …
