PG - 586-90 AB - We studied fifty one patients (40 men and 11 women) under going valve replacement from 1990 to 2002 for aortic regurgitation and had left ventricular dysfunction. 45% patients were in class III or IV of New York Heart Association (NYHA). All patients were investigated by echocardiography (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 50%) - Peroperative mortality was 5.8% due to myocardial failure. 81.4% of survivors were followed duering a mean period of 24 months (rangis from 3 to 67 months) after valve replacement.
