Echocardiography Findings in Patients With Myocardial Fibrosis and Severe Aortic Stenosis
Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Summary
Patients with aortic stenosis waiting for aortic valve repair were investigated with echocardiography preoperatively, and a myocardial biospy was taken during the operation. The investigators aim to perform a retrospective analysis of these data, to look for correlations between biopsy-verified myocardial fibrosis and echocardiography parameters. The patients also had cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed, for a non-invasive quantification of myocardial fibrosis.

Conditions
Interventions
Transthoracic echocardiography
Transthoracic echocardiography, performed close in time to the endomyocardial biopsy taken during aortic valve replacement procedure
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was taken on selected patients without contraindications. The CMR protocol was changed midway during study inclusions (May 2017), in order to better be able to quantify myocardial fibrosis.
