Figure 1
A proposed scheme connecting structural remodelling of the myocardium, morphological pattern of LV remodelling, correlative imaging morphology of the LV, corresponding CMR myocardial structure, and the functional phenotype defined by myocardial mechanics at various stages of severe aortic stenosis. ↔, normal/no change; ↑, ↑↑↑, = mildly or markedly increased; ↓, ↓↓, mildly or markedly decreased; ∗, echocardiography; ∗∗, Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. ECV, extracellular volume; ED, end-diastole; EF, ejection fraction; ES, end-systole; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; RWT, relative wall thickness; TSR, torsion-shortening ratio, also see supplement for magnified picture and explanation; V/M, volume to mass.
