Abstract
Three-dimensional regional and global end-systolic LV wall stress can be determined by MRI and finite element analysis. Values of ESS in patients with chronic AI were elevated prior to AVR and normalized after AVR. This method may have considerable potential as a noninvasive, clinically applicable index of regional LV geometry and function that may help with the serial evaluation of patients with AI.
