Aortic stiffness as a marker of cardiac function and myocardial strain in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement

BACKGROUND: Cardiac function and myocardial strain are affected by cardiac afterload, which is in part due to the stiffness of the aortic wall. In this study, we hypothesize that aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a marker of aortic stiffness correlates with conventional clinical and biochemical ma...
