Despite recovery of left ventricular (LV) function and morphology after aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis (AS), its relationship with exercise capacity remains unknown. Twenty-one AVR patients (age 61 ± 12 years, 14 male) with normal ejection fraction (EF, 64 ± 7%) and 21 age- and sex-matched controls (57 ± 9 years, 10 male, EF 68 ± 8%) were studied.
