Elastography is a new non-invasive medical technique for measuring the stiffness at a distance from a tissue. Recent advances in the development of elastography sequences for cardiac exploration suggest a more clinical approach to cardiac elastography. This study propose to compare myocardial stiffness of a group of coronary bypass patients without hypertrophic left ventricular remodeling or sequelae of myocardial infarction versus a group of patients who should benefit from a surgical aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis.
The hypothesis is that the physiological adaptation to pressure overload constituted by aortic stenosis is responsible for a significant increase in myocardial stiffness compared to a reference group.
