We aimed to assess the ascending aortic mechanics with two\u2010dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR<\/jats:styled-content>) and hypothesized a relationship with degree of AR<\/jats:styled-content>. Aortic mechanics were then compared with those of similarly studied healthy controls and patients with aortic stenosis (AS<\/jats:styled-content>); finally, we aimed to assess the prognostic significance of vascular mechanics in AVD<\/jats:styled-content>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Overall, 73 patients with moderate\u2010to\u2010severe AR<\/jats:styled-content> and 22 healthy subjects were enrolled, alongside a previously examined cohort (N = 45) with moderate\u2010to\u2010severe AS<\/jats:styled-content>. Global circumferential ascending aortic strain (CAAS<\/jats:styled-content>) and strain rate (CAASR<\/jats:styled-content>) served as indices of aortic deformation; corrected CAAS<\/jats:styled-content> was calculated as CAAS<\/jats:styled-content>\/pulse pressure (PP<\/jats:styled-content>). Median clinical follow\u2010up was 438 days.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>In patients with severe (vs. moderate) AR<\/jats:styled-content>, CAASR<\/jats:styled-content> (1.53 \u00b1 0.29\/sec vs. 1.90 \u00b1 0.62\/sec, P < 0.05) and corrected CAAS<\/jats:styled-content> (0.14 \u00b1 0.06%\/mmHg vs. 0.19 \u00b1 0.08%\/mmHg, P < 0.05) were significantly lower, whereas CAAS<\/jats:styled-content> did not differ significantly. Measurers of aortic mechanics (CAAS<\/jats:styled-content>, corrected CAAS<\/jats:styled-content>, CAASR<\/jats:styled-content>) differed significantly (all P < 0.01) in patients with AS<\/jats:styled-content> and AR<\/jats:styled-content> and in healthy subjects, with lower values seen in patients with AS<\/jats:styled-content>. In follow\u2010up, survival rate of AVD<\/jats:styled-content> patients with baseline CAASR<\/jats:styled-content> >0.88\/sec was significantly higher (log rank, 97.4% vs. 73.0%; P = 0.03).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Quantitative measures of aortic mechanics were lower for AS<\/jats:styled-content> patients, suggesting a more significant derangement of aortic elastic properties.
