Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare the extent of reversal of left ventricular remodelling at 3 months and 1 year after a TAVI procedure between patients with a TAVI-induced LBBB and TAVI patients without LBBB. Left ventricular remodelling will be defined using echocardiographic parameters (left ventricular endsystolic diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular mass, global longitudinal and circumferential 2D-strain). 2. To evaluate and compare the immediate and long-term effects of a TAVI-induced and non-TAVI-induced LBBB on the ECG, regional and global 2D-strain profile of the left ventricle in a circumferential and longitudinal direction. 2D-Strain will be measured by post-processing of B-mode echocardiographic images (speckle tracking). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare the TAVI-induced LBBB ECG profile and 2D-strain pattern to that of patients with spontaneous LBBB in order to discriminate a proximal from distal LBBB. 2. To correlate the ECG profile and 2D-strain of TAVI-induced LBBB with that of CRT patients with LBBB and indicate whether a dyssynchrony caused by TAVI-induced LBBB is likely to respond to CRT. 3. To evaluate the feasibility of 3D-TOE in guiding placement of the aortic tissue valve during TAVI procedure | — |
