Background This study aimed to evaluate the impact of baseline left ventricular (LV) systolic function on clinical and echocardiographic outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Survival of patients undergoing TAVI was also compared with that of a population undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement.Methods One hundred forty-seven consecutive patients (mean age = 80 +/- 7 years) undergoing TAVI in 2 centers were included. Mean follow-up period was 9.1 +/- 5.1 months.Results At baseline, 34% of patients had impaired LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (= 50%). Procedural success was similar in these 2 groups (94% vs 97%, P = .41). All patients achieved improvement in transvalvular hemodynamics. At follow-up, patients with a baseline LVEF
