Changes of intracardiac flow dynamics measured by HyperDoppler in patients with aortic stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Assessment of intracardiac flow dynamics has recently acquired significance due to the development of new measurement methods based on echocardiography. Recent studies have demonstrated that cardiac abnormalities are associated with changes in intracardiac vortical flows. Yet, no previous study assessed the impact of aortic stenosis (AS) on intracardiac vortices. This study aims to explore the clinical potential of additional information provided by quantifying intracardiac flow dynamics in patients with AS.

Methods and results

One hundred and twenty patients with severe AS, sixty patients with concentric ventricular remodelling (VR), and hundred controls (CTRL) were prospectively included and underwent non-invasive evaluation of intracardiac flow dynamics. In addition
