Influence of Contractile Reserve in Low-gradient AS
• Absence of CR related to operative mortality,
but it does not predict the absence of LVEF
recovery in pt surviving AVR
• These data further support the concept that
surgery should not be contraindicated on the
basis of absence of CR alone

Take Home Points
•Dobutamine stress testing is helpful in low gradient-low EF AS• Importance of contractile reserve
• “True AS” vs “Pseudo” AS
•Absence of contractile reserve substantially increases operative mortality with AVR in low EF-low gradient AS• But if patients survive, EF
improves and outcome good
