Prognostic value of left ventricular hypertrophy in postoperative outcomes in type A acute aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is common in hypertension patients. Hypertension is a recognized risk factor of acute aortic dissection. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of LVH in predicting postoperative outcomes in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients.

Methods

This was a single-central retrospectively designed study. One hundred and ninety-three ATAAD patients who underwent surgical repair at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to November 2021 were enrolled. Patients were divided based on their left ventricular mass index (LVMI). We compared their baseline characteristics, perioperative data, and in-hospital outcome. Then nomogram models were developed based on logistic regression to predict the postoperative outc
