| Abstract | Arterial stiffness and aortic hemodynamics are independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular events. Indications for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) are increasing in number and Aortic Valve Calcifications (AVC) are an important prognostic factor of TAVI. We sought to investigate the associations between AVC and aortic vascular function/hemodynamics. Fifty-two high-risk patients (mean age 80.4 ± 8.5 years, 27 male) with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI were included. Arterial stiffness was estimated through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Aortic hemodynamics were also measured. Measurements were conducted prior to the implantation and at discharge. In all patients, a native and contrast-enhanced multislice cardiac computed tomography were performed pre-interventionally. AVC were then graded semi-quantitatively. Group 1 (subjects with none/mild AVC, n = 29) did not significantly differ on age, gender and body-mass index compared to group 2 (subjects with moderate/severe AVC, n = 23). From the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, only hypertension (p = 0.008), coronary artery disease (p = 0.016), atrial fibrillation (p = 0.075) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (p = 0.068) were more statistically or showed a significant trend to be more prevalent in group 2. Group 2 had significantly higher both cfPWV and baPWV (8.3 ± 1.7 vs 7.2 ±1.2 m/s and 1750 ± 484 cm/s vs. 2101 ± 590 cm/s with p = 0.008 and p = 0.022 respectively) compared to Group 1. (Figure) There was no difference in wave reflections indices between the two groups. Our study shows that in patients with aortic stenosis there is a correlation between an increase in aortic stiffness and damage of aortic valvular leaflets as well as calcifications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
