Background In aortic valve stenosis (AS), the occurrence of heart failure symptoms does not always correlate with severity of valve stenosis and left ventricular (LV) function. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that symptomatic patients with AS have impaired diastolic, longitudinal systolic function, and left atrial dilatation compared with asymptomatic patients.Methods and Results In a retrospective descriptive study, we compared clinical characteristics and echocardiographic parameters in 99 symptomatic and 139 asymptomatic patients with severe AS and LV ejection fraction 50%. Independent predictors of symptomatic state were identified using logistic regression analysis. Symptomatic patients were younger (7210 versus 7612 years of age; P=0.002), presented less often with atrial fibrillation (13% versus 24%; P=0.05) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2% versus 19%; P
