Beyond Procedural Success: Predictors of Left Ventricular Recovery and Persistent Heart Failure After TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has transformed the treatment of severe aortic stenosis, but successful valve implantation does not necessarily translate into complete cardiac recovery. Relief of left ventricular pressure overload can…
Beyond Ejection Fraction: The Emerging Role of Myocardial Strain, 3D Echocardiography, and Artificial Intelligence in Early Detection and Phenotyping of Heart Failure
Heart failure is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous clinical syndrome in which conventional left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) provides only a partial representation of myocardial performance. Patients may develop substantial myocardial…
