Abstract Background: multiple studies have been published concerning the correlation between the LV mass index on the early post-operative clinical outcome in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis ,many of them proved that with increased LVMI there was poor clinical outcome post-operative. Patients and methods: in this study, 40 patients with aortic stenosis classified into two groups according to LVMI (group I) was 30 patients and (group II) was 10 patients, underwent aortic valve replacement and the preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative data were collected. Results: we found significant clinical deterioration of patients in group I (increased LVMI) than group II, Use of inotropes more than 24 hours (27) patients (90.0%) in group I (1) patient in group II (10.0%), Icu stay (days) (3.73 ± 1.11) days in group I (1.70 ± 0.48) days in group II, Hospital stay(10.37 ± 2.50) days in group I (5.70 ± 0.68) days in group II.Conclusion: our experience suggests that with increased LVMI there is poor clinical out come in patients with aortic stenosis post aortic valve replacement |
