Abstract

The aim was to investigate the effects of balloon dilation of congenital valvar aortic (Ao) stenosis on heart function with conventional and with new echocardiographic techniques. Nine patients, preballoon and 1 to 4 d postballoon dilation of Ao-valve, were included in the study. Assessment of heart function was made by using conventional echo/Doppler, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and strain rate imaging (SRI). Mean (and standard deviation) of posttreatment drop of aortic valve pressure gradient was 34.1 (sd 14.0) mmHg, p
