ELASTOP-AS: Measurement of Myocardial Stiffness Using Elastometry in Patients With Aortic Stenosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Elastography is a new non-invasive medical technique for measuring the stiffness at a distance from a tissue. Recent advances in the development of elastography sequences for cardiac exploration suggest a more clinical approach to cardiac elastography. This study propose to compare myocardial stiffness of a group of coronary bypass patients without hypertrophic left ventricular remodeling or sequelae of myocardial infarction versus a group of patients who should benefit from a surgical aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis.
The hypothesis is that the physiological adaptation to pressure overload constituted by aortic stenosis is responsible for a significant increase in myocardial stiffness compared to a reference group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- to compare myocardial stiffness by ShearWave elastography on not beating heart in two groups of patients referred for surgery [Day 1]
The main outcome measure is evaluated by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To compare the diastolic myocardial stiffness of the beating heart with the myocardial stiffness of the non-beating heart [Day 1]
This outcome measure is evaluated by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart
- To compare epicardial and trans-thoracic diastolic myocardial stiffness [Day 1]
This outcome measure is evaluated by elastography using the measurement of Young modulus in epicardial (using the linear probe) and transthoracic (using the scanning probe).
- Correlation between the diastolic myocardial stiffness of the beating heart and the non-beating heart with conventional diastolic indices [Day 1]
This outcome measure is evaluated: by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart by conventional ultrasound criteria (peak e', peak E, volume of the left atrium calculated by simpson biplanes, maximum velocity of tricuspid insufficiency).
- Correlation between the diastolic myocardial stiffness of the beating heart and the non-beating heart with heart failure parameters [Day 1]
This outcome measure is evaluated: by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart by heart failure parameters defined by NYHA class, the walking test and the BNP assay
- Correlation between the diastolic myocardial stiffness of the beating heart and the non-beating heart with left ventricular mass indexed to the body surface [Day 1]
This outcome measure is evaluated: by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart by LV mass indexed to the body surface calculated by the cardiac mass measuring by ultrasound indexed to the body surface
- Correlation between the diastolic myocardial stiffness of the beating heart and the non-beating heart and the prognosis [1 year]
This outcome measure is evaluated: by ShearWave elastography with the measurement of Young modulus on non-beating heart by a combined index combining all rehospitalization for heart failure, increase in heart failure treatment and cardiac death
