Acute left ventricle diastolic function improvement after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Eur J Echocardiogr. 2011 Oct;12(10):790-7, PMID: 21865229

Data regarding the effects of TAVI on LV after are scarce and conflicting results have been reported immediately after aortic valvuloplasty. This study aimed to determine the acute haemodynamic effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in left ventricle (LV) diastolic performance, immediately after aortic valvuloplasty and prosthesis deployment.
