Figure 1From: Factors affecting left ventricular remodeling after valve replacement for aortic stenosis. An overview Influence of the relative increase of EOA after AVR on LV mass. Correlation between absolute left ventricular mass (LVM) index regression and increased indexed effective orefice area (r = -0.31; r2 = 10%, p = 0.001).
