BackgroundWe aimed to clarify the predictive factors for left ventricular (LV) function after aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR).Methods and resultsAmong 555 patients who underwent AVR at our institution from January 2015 to December 2020, we enrolled 44 patients for whom only AVR (or AVR + aortic replacement) was performed. We defined LV dysfunction under any of the following criteria: LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <50 %, LV diastolic dimension >65 mm, LV systolic dimension (LVDs) >50 mm, or LVDs/body surface area > 25 mm/m2. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed high natural logarithm (ln) C-reactive protein (CRP) and low LVEF in the pre-AVR period significantly associated with LV dysfunction after AVR (ln CRP: odds ratio [OR] 4.15, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.44–11.98,p< 0.01; LVEF: OR 0.79, 95%CI 0.65–0.97,p< 0.05). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis revealed an area under curve of CRP and LVEF in the pre-AVR period for LV dysfunction after AVR of 0.84 and 0.83, respectively. Upon dividing the patients into four groups according to cutoff values of CRP (0.13 mg/dL) and LVEF (50 %) in the pre-AVR period, no patients (0/19) had LV dysfunction in the low CRP (<0.13 mg/dL) and high LVEF (≥50 %) group, and all patients (5/5) in the high CRP (≥0.13 mg/dL) and low LVEF (<50 %) group had LV dysfunction after AVR.ConclusionHigh CRP level was significantly and independently associated with LV dysfunction after AVR. Combination of CRP and LVEF values might be useful for predicting improvement in LV function after AVR.
