Elucidation of cardiac physiology in aortic valve replacement: what should we know?

Journal article

Over the past 50 years, aortic valve surgery has achieved enormous progress towards restoring durable and physiological performance of aortic valve prostheses, physiological coronary circulation, and thus the normal structure and function of the left ventricle. Throughout the entire history of aortic valve surgery, it has been clear that interactions between surgeons and physicians have not only led to improvements in operative techniques and results, but have also facilitated a better unders...
