What is it about?
This article deals with the relationship between increased afterload and LV mechanics in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis. The influence of afterload on different strain parameters (global longitudina, circumferential, and radial strain) has been assessed.

Why is it important?
The results of this article show that increased LV afterload impact longitudinal and circumferential function in the early phases of aortic disease. Why the development of LV dysfunction, also radial function is affected.
