According to one large series, if aortic valve replacement is not performed ... O2 demand = wall stress X HR. Using the above equation, we can understand the pathologic process that develops ...

Young patients who have undergone the Ross procedure for aortic valve disease have shown excellent long-term survival, the ...

However, once LV systolic failure occurs, cardiomegaly will be seen. Calcification of the aortic valve, pulmonary congestion and post-stenotic dilation of the aorta are other non-specific findings.

As mentioned previously, medically managed treatment of severe aortic stenosis has a dismal prognosis, with an overall mean survival of 3 years from the onset of symptoms. [11,12] Surgical valve ...
