BackgroundTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly utilized in the treatment of aortic valve disease. We assess echocardiographic changes over time to evaluate cardiac remodeling following TAVR between Veteran (VA) and non-VA populations. MethodsRetrospective analysis of 121, single operator TAVR procedures completed between March 2018 and June 2020 at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, IL. Patients included those referred from the affiliated Jessie Brown Veteran Affairs hospital with the following inclusion criteriatransthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Chi-Square tests were used to analyze categorical variables, paired t-tests for continuous variables, and multivariate analysis for subgroups. ResultsOne hundred and fifteen patients (VA59, non-VA56) were included in this study. The population had a mean age of 77.0 vs 73.2, BMI of 28.2 vs 30.4, 96.6% vs 56.6% male (p
