Non-invasive left ventricle strain-volume-pressure loops in asymptomatic significant aortic regurgitation and their role in predicting the need for aortic valve surgery Open
Background Severe aortic regurgitation (AR) causes irreversible myocardial damage due to left ventricular (LV) pressure and volume overload. It often occurs before fulfilling the criteria for aortic valve surgery indication (AVSi) as speci…

Fibrosis and expression of extracellular matrix proteins in human interventricular septum in aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation Open
Valvular heart disease leads to ventricular pressure and/or volume overload. Pressure overload leads to fibrosis, which might regress with its resolution, but the limits and details of this reverse remodeling are not known. To gain more in…
