Abstract 212: Left Ventricular Hypertrophy by Electrocardiogram Criteria is Associated With Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement High-Degree Atrioventricular Block and Left Bundle Branch Block [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: LVH by voltage criteria in TAVR patients is associated with post-TAVR LBBB and post-TAVR high degree AV blocks, which lead to post-TAVR pacemaker placement. Pre-TAVR LVH by ECG criteria may be used to identify high-risk patients in whom extended telemetry monitoring may be warranted. Additional studies investigating this important subject are needed.
