Objective: Predictors for post‐operative reverse remodeling in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are unknown. We performed low‐dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients with severe AR and reduced LVEF to evaluate the relationship between contractile reserve (CR) and reverse remodeling after surgery. Methods: In 31 patients with chronic severe AR and reduced LVEF (LVEF < 50%), we performed pre‐operative DSE, assessed CR, and examined whether changes in preoperative DSE were associated with improvement of post‐operative LVEF after aortic valve surgery. Results: The pre‐operative echocardiographic findings were as follows: left ventricular (LV) end‐diastolic dimension: 67 ± 10 mm, LV end‐systolic dimension: 52 ± 13 mm, and LVEF: 42 ± 8%. All patients underwent aortic valve surgery. Patients with pre‐operative LVEF of ≥45% exhibited a significant increase in LVEF; however, patients with pre‐operative LVEF of <45% showed no significant change. When we examined the results of DSE performed in patients with pre‐operative LVEF of <45%, ΔLVEF of ≥6% (with CR) during DSE was related to an improvement in post‐operative LVEF; ΔLVEF of ≥6% during DSE predicted an improvement in post‐operative LVEF, with sensitivity 100%; specificity 78%; and area under curve (AUC).92. Conclusions: DSE might be a helpful tool for predicting post‐operative reverse remodeling in patients with severe AR and moderately reduced LVEF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
