Relationship between left ventricular wall stress and cardiac remodelling post-TAVR and MitraClip.
Article in Open heart, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe relationship between left ventricular wall stress (LVWS) and cardiac remodelling post structural intervention has not previously been examined. We examined the relationship between LVWS and cardiac remodelling 6 months post transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and MitraClip (MC).
methodsLVWS was calculated in 40 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and 11 patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) immediately preintervention and postintervention with TAVR or MC. LVWS was calculated by integrating invasive haemodynamic data with cardiac MR (CMR)-derived measures of left ventricular (LV) volume and mass. Patients underwent a 6 min walk test (6MWT), transthoracic echocardiogram and CMR preprocedure and 6 months postprocedure.
resultsBoth TAVR and MC resulted in significant improvements in functional capacity and cardiac remodelling with no significant difference in the degree of LV mass or volume reduction between the two groups.Linear regression analysis showed that baseline diastolic LVWS (D-LVWS) in the MC cohort and baseline systolic LVWS (S-LVWS) in the TAVR cohort were predictors of larger LV end-diastolic volumes (EDV) and lower ejection fractions (EF) at follow-up (in the MC cohort: B=7.86, p=0.015 for EDV, B=-1.4, p=0.02 for EF; in the TAVR cohort: B=1.53, p=0.04 for EDV and B=-0.702, p<0.001 for EF).
conclusionsHigher baseline D-LVWS in patients undergoing MC, and higher baseline S-LVWS in patients undergoing TAVR, were predictors of poorer EF and larger LV volumes at follow-up. These findings suggest that LVWS may be used to predict the degree of LV recovery postprocedure and suggest that intervening below a certain LVWS threshold may lead to better outcomes with regards to cardiac remodelling. CONDENSED ABSTRACT: LVWS was calculated in patients with AS and mitral regurgitation (MR) pre and immediately post valve intervention with TAVR or MC. The patients were followed up at 6 months with 6MWT, echocardiography and CMR imaging Both cohorts demonstrated significant functional improvements and cardiac remodelling postprocedure. Baseline D-LVWS in MC and baseline S-LVWS in TAVR were predictors of poorer EF and larger LV volumes at follow-up. This suggests that in patients with severe AS or MR, baseline LVWS may be useful to predict degree of recovery postintervention or determine need for early intervention.
