Abstract
The timing of surgery in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS) is controversial. Adverse LV remodeling is related to prognosis in AS. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can identify diffuse and focal myocardial fibrosis, by T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) respectively, as well as myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR), which is inversely related to symptoms and an independent predictor of exercise capacity in severe AS. The aim of this study was to determine whether MPR and other CMR markers of LV remodeling are of prognostic value in asymptomatic AS.
