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 …

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 …

Myocardial work is calculated from non-invasive left ventricular pressure and strain by
speckle tracking echocardiography. Myocardial work provides diagnostic information …

Background Recent studies have demonstrated that left ventricular myocardial work (MW) is
incremental in diagnosis and prognostication compared with left ventricular ejection fraction …

Background Recently, myocardial work analysis as an echocardiographic tool to non-
invasively determine LV work has been introduced and validated against invasive …

Background: Pressure-strain loop analyses is a noninvasive technique capable of
evaluating myocardial work. Reference values are needed to benchmark these myocardial …

Background: Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in patients with secondary mitral
regurgitation (SMR) remains challenging but is an important parameter for risk stratification …

Currently, the term “heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF)” is
based on echocardiographic parameters and clinical symptoms combined with elevated or …

The evaluation of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is an essential part of the clinical
practice of cardiology. Although left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most validated …

Background: The noninvasive assessment of myocardial work (MW) allows for the
evaluation of left ventricular (LV) performance by considering the effect of LV afterload. This …
