Myocardial steatosis and left ventricular contractile dysfunction in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) leads to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and dysfunction. We hypothesized that cardiac steatosis is involved in the pathophysiology and also assessed whether it is reversible after aortic valve replacement. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients with severe AS (...
