Abstract :

 Background : AS is one of the more common valvular heart disease .Prognosis is heavily dependent upon presence of LV( Left Ventricular) dysfunction .Strain echocardiography can detect early LV dysfunction even when conventional methods fail Methods: All patients between the age of 18 to 80 with isolated severe aortic stenosis were included with diverse etiologies–Rheumatic, Degenerative and bicuspid aortic valve without significant involvement of other valves underwent clinical and echocardiographic examination and those who underwent AVR (aortic Valve Replacement)were also studied Results : Total 45 patients were recruited .23 of whom underwent AVR . 23 were having degenerative ,15 had rheumatic etiology and 7 bicuspid Post AVR (Aortic Valve Replacement)there was a statically significant improvement in strain Parameters and LV mass (indexed) GLS global longitudinal strain averaged improved from 12.65 to 19.12 (p<0.02) LV mass regression with average mass of 153 +–5 to 129+–7 post AVR Conclusions :In isolated severe aortic stenosis of varying etiology Strain echocardiography plays an important role in early detection of LV dysfunction and adds prognostic valve after AVR.
