Left Ventricular Recovery after Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Compared with Conventional Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Aortic Regurgitation and Reduced Ejection Fraction

Figure 1

LVEF, LVEDD, and NYHA grading of the two groups at baseline and follow-up. (a) Median (interquartile range) of LVEF of the two groups at baseline and follow-up. (b) Median (interquartile range) of LVEDD of the two groups at baseline and follow-up. (c) Comparison of the proportion of patients in the different subclasses of NYHA function of the two groups at baseline and follow-up. TA-TAVI, transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation; C-AVR, conventional aortic valve replacement; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension; and NYHA, New York heart association.
