479Preoperative global longitudinal strain is the best predictor of mortality following transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Abstract Background Prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is variable. This might depend on preoperative evaluation of myocardial performance by other measurements than ejection fraction (EF). Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of preoperati...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background Prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is variable. This might depend on preoperative evaluation of myocardial performance by other measurements than ejection fraction (EF). Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of preoperative global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the guidelines specified subtypes of aortic stenosis (AS) on mortality following TAVR. Methods We included 511 patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR in the period July 2012–June 2017. Patients were divided into guidelines-specified subgroups based on EF (EF: ≥50 (NEF) or
