The Impact of Left Ventricular Structure and Function on Mortality in Patients with Aortic Valve Infective Endocarditis Treated with Aortic Valve Replacement
Our study found that both pre- and postoperative LVEF, as well as preoperative LVEDd, were associated with poorer outcomes in patients with IE undergoing AVR, particularly among female patients. These results highlight the importance of tailored clinical management strategies based on sex-specific risk profiles. Further research is needed to validate these findings and develop interventions to mitigate the observed risks.
