Regulation of coronary blood flow is maintained through a delicate balance of
ventriculoarterial and neurohumoral mechanisms. The aortic valve is integral to the functions …

Background—After aortic valve replacement, left ventricular afterload is often characterized
by the residual valve obstruction. Our objective was to determine whether higher systemic …
