Medium-term determinants of left ventricular mass index after stentless aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for elevated left ventricular mass index 3 to 5 years after stentless aortic valve replacement, and to elucidate the underlying physiologic mechanisms. METHODS: Eighty-nine patients (age, 76 +/- 6 years, 51 males) having a stentless porcin...
