BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is common in severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF≥50%). OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging-recommended DD grading and left atrial strain on mortality in a cohort of patients with severe AS and preserved LVEF. METHODS We studied patients with severe AS (aortic valve area indexed<0.6 cm2/m2 and/or aortic valve area<1cm2), LVEF≥50% and no or mild AS-related symptoms. The endpoint was all-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 387 patients (median age 76years; 53% women) were studied. During a median follow-up of 57 (interquartile range 37; 83) months, 158 patients died. After adjustment for prognostic factors, patients with grade II or III DD had an increased mortality risk versus patients with grade I DD (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-2.38; P=0.013; aHR 4.73, 95% CI 2.49-8.99; P<0.001; respectively). Adding peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS)≤14% to a multivariable model including DD grade improved predictive performance, with better global model fit, reclassification and discrimination. Patients with grade III DD or grade II DD+PALS≤14% displayed an increased mortality risk versus patients with grade I DD+PALS>14% (aHR 4.17, 95% CI 2.46-7.06; P<0.0001). Those with grade I DD+PALS≤14% or grade II DD+PALS>14% were at intermediate risk (aHR 1.63, 95% CI 1.07-2.49; P=0.024). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the strong relationship between DD and mortality in patients with severe AS and preserved LVEF. Patients with grade III or grade II DD and impaired PALS are at very high risk. These data demonstrate the importance of a comprehensive assessment of diastolic function in patients with severe AS.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D001024 Aortic Valve Stenosis A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the AORTIC VALVE. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the AORTA.

D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D013318 Stroke Volume The amount of BLOOD pumped out of the HEART per beat, not to be confused with cardiac output (volume/time).
