1 Indexed Left Ventricular Dimensions Best Predict Survival After Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Aortic Valve Regurgitation  Morgan L. Brown, MD, Hartzell V. Schaff, MD, Rakesh M.

2 Fig 1 Survival after aortic valve replacement (AVR) for chronic aortic insufficiency (AR) compared with an age- and sex-matched population. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Survival after aortic valve replacement adjusted for age and stratified by left ventricular indexed end-systolic dimensions (LVESD; A) and indexed left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions (LVEDD; B).

4 Fig 3 Change in ejection fraction (EF) after operation stratified by preoperative ejection fraction. All patients had available echocardiography at all time points. The mean follow-up time was 3.3 ± 2.6 years. There was a greater initial reduction in ejection fraction in patients with the greatest preoperative ejection fraction (p = 0.014). However, those patients with the lowest preoperative ejection fraction had the greatest improvement of ejection fraction at late follow-up (p ω 0.001).
