Detailed Description
A prospective study of 600 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and symptoms who underwent TAVI at the Haukeland university hospital, Bergen, Norway between January 2012 and July 2019.
Demographics, clinical data including cardiovascular risk factors, arterial and echocardiographic parameters were prospectively collected. The data on all-cause mortality will be collected. Echocardiograms (immediate before TAVI, at discharge after TAVI and at 6-12 months follow-up) will be analyzed. The main scientific objectives are:
To assess survival benefits of TAVI according to baseline risk profile. To determine the echocardiographic predictors of left ventricular mass regression and left ventricular function recovery.
To evaluate global LV load (Zva=valvular-arterial impedance) following TAVI. To assess the impact of various types of blood pressure responses immediately after TAVI on clinical outcomes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The impact of TAVI on all-cause mortality [From January 2012 to Mai 2020 (date for assesment vital status) + prolonged follow-up (up to 10 years)]
To assess the long-term survival benefits of TAVI
- The impact of TAVI on left ventriclar mass and hypertrophy regression [From January 2012 to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)]
To assess whether removal of valve stenosis by TAVI leads to regression of left ventricular mass (grams).
- The impact of TAVI on left ventricular function recovery [From January 2012 to to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)]
To assess improvement in systolic function (increase in ejection fraction) following TAVI
- The impact of TAVI on arterial load (systemic arterial stiffness and arterial compliance). [From January 2012 to to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)]
To assess improvement in echocardiographic arterial stiffness and arterial compliance and global left ventricular load (Zva=valvular-arterial impedance) following TAVI.
