Prognostic Value of Ventricular-Arterial Coupling After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement on Midterm Clinical Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Background Ventricular-arterial coupling predicts outcomes in patients with heart failure. The arterial elastance to end-systolic elastance ratio (Ea/Ees) is a noninvasively assessed index that reflects ventricular-arterial coupling. We aimed to determine the prognostic value of ventricular-arterial coupling assessed through Ea/Ees after transcatheter aortic valve replacement to predict clinical events. Methods and Results We retrieved data on 1378 patients (70% women) who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement between October 2013 and May 2017 from the OCEAN-TAVI (Optimized transCathEter vAlvular iNtervention) Japanese multicenter registry. We determined the association between Ea/Ees and the composite end point of hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death by cl
