Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Apical Sparing Contractility Pattern in Patients with Aortic Stenosis Referred for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Introduction: Prolonged afterload increase in aortic stenosis (AS) may alter left ventricular (LV) contractility, irrespective of LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The prevalence and morbimortality associated with the apical sparing strain pattern (ASP), a typical finding of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), are...
