Clinical Trial Summary

In patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS), the prognostic value of reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction is well known. Consequently, there is class I indication for surgery in these patients when LV ejection fraction <50%. However, there is growing evidences suggesting that subclinical LV dysfunction, and more particularly longitudinal myocardial dysfunction, may be a powerful early predictor of outcome, even when LV ejection is still preserved. In asymptomatic AS patients with LV ejection fraction >50%, a reduced LV global longitudinal strain, as assessed using speckle tracking imaging with transthoracic echocardiography, may be an accurate marker to identify early subclinical LV dysfunction and thus, to improve the risk stratification, the management and the timing of surgery. Several mono-centric observational small studies recently reported results emphasizing the role of LV global longitudinal strain in AS patients. Therefore, a meta-analysis may be conducted and may provide meaningful data. The investigators hypothesized that LV global longitudinal strain is a determinant of outcome in asymptomatic patients with AS and preserved LV ejection fraction.
