Adverse cardiac remodelling is the main determinant of patient prognosis in degenerative
valvular heart disease (VHD). However, to give an indication for valvular intervention …

Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) has established itself in the last decade
as a reliable, more objective method for the evaluation of LV systolic function, able to detect …

A precise and accurate assessment of left ventricular (LV) contractility is of utmost
importance in terms of prognosis in most cardiac pathologies. Given the limitations of …

Background Echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a useful measure for
detection of cancer treatment–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) but is influenced by …

Myocardial work is an emerging tool in echocardiography that incorporates left ventricular
afterload into global longitudinal strain analysis. Myocardial work correlates with myocardial …

The assessment of myocardial work (MW) using non-invasive pressure-strain loop analysis
is a novel echocardiographic method that provides a more precise assessment of the …

Aims This study aims to assess the prevalence of relative apical sparing pattern (RASP) in
patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS), referred for surgical aortic valve …

Background A noninvasive left ventricular (LV) pressure-strain loop (PSL) provides a new
method to quantify myocardial work (MW) by combining global longitudinal strain (GLS) and …

Changes in cardiac mechanics after correction of severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) are under-
investigated. Myocardial Work (MW) is emerging as a useful non-invasive correlate of …

Background The purpose of this study was to assess subclinical left ventricle (LV)
myocardial dysfunction using global myocardial work (MW) in type 2 diabetes mellitus …
