Abstract

In patients with untreated AR, LV remodeling, left atrial remodeling, and other markers of cardiac damage are associated with substantial mortality risk, both for severe and moderate AR. Further study is needed to determine whether AVR is warranted in patients with less-than-severe AR with at-risk factors.
