AAA repair leads not only to an increase in aortic stiffness, as measured by the increase in pulse wave velocity, but also to reduced cardiac systolic function. Our findings highlight the need for a more intense cardiac surveillance program after aortic reconstruction. Further studies are needed to investigate how this may translate into long-term manifestations of cardiovascular complications and symptomatology.
