This study evaluates the history of left ventricular function in children with aortic valve dysfunction. The growth related modification of left ventricle (LV) dimensions, the abnormal left ventricular loading conditions due to aortic valve disease and the need of repeated measurements are making this evaluation a complex task in infants and children. Combined echocardiographic measurements of LV shorts axis velocity of shortening, shortening fraction and end-systolic wall stress allow a non invasive and easily repeatable evaluation of LV function and of its components: preload, afterload and contractility. In the first part of this study, the potential of myocardial impairment in relation to aortic valve disease and the difficult choice o...
