Considerable left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy sometimes remains after aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis. For this issue, most previous studies have focused solely on transprosthetic pressure gradient, although true problem is not the pressure gradient itself but an elevated LV pressure. This study investigated the impact of blood pressure on postoperative LV mass regression, which had been overlooked in previous studies.
