In chronic AR, LV enlargement is an early finding. LV volumes display a direct correlation with regurgitant fraction and an inverse association with age. Patients with BAV present larger ventricular volumes, especially at mild AR. However, these differences are attributable to demographic disparities; valve type is not independently associated with LV size.
