The LVDFS is a simple, reproducible metric that can be operationalized in patients undergoing TAVR, as well as those with native valve regurgitation. Additional studies are necessary to determine the relationship between LVDFS and post-TAVR outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
