P1.03 LEFT VENTRICULAR REMODELING: IMPACT OF GLOBAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL AORTIC STIFFNESS
Objectives: Left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling predicts all cause and CV mortality in various subsets of patients. Large arteries stiffness determines cardiac afterload and therefore LV remodeling. Since elastic properties of the arterial wall vary along the aortic pathway, we hypothesized...
