Several publications have examined the body mass index (BMI) in patients having aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis with and without a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). The present study examines BMI in 536 adults having aortic valve replacement for a congenitally BAV and compares the BMI in those with stenotic vs those with purely regurgitant BAVs. No significant differences were found between the 2 groups.
有几项出版物研究了在主动脉瓣狭窄患者中,进行主动脉瓣置换术时的体重指数(BMI),这些患者的主动脉瓣分别为二叶式主动脉瓣(BAV)和三叶式主动脉瓣。本研究检查了 536 名因先天性二叶式主动脉瓣而行主动脉瓣置换术的成年人的 BMI,并比较了存在狭窄性和单纯反流性 BAV 的患者的 BMI。两组之间未发现显著差异。
