diastolic dysfunction, which leads to increased mean left atrial pressures. As AS progresses, the increased wall thickness may become inadequate in offsetting the increase in pressure with afterload mismatch, leading to increased wall stress, and decreased LV systolic function. Such reduction in LV systolic function also results in increased mean left atrial pressure, which with time, induces left atrial dilation, which may lead to atrial arrhythmias. Furthermore, hindered filling restricts LV preload
