Aim
To improve the prognosis of patients with heart failure, risk stratification in their early stage is important. We assessed whether the change in transmitral flow (TMF) velocity pattern during preload augmentation can predict future hemodynamic worsening in early‐stage heart failure patients with impaired relaxation TMF pattern.
Methods
We designed a prospective cohort study that included 155...
BackgroundLongitudinal strain of right ventricle (RV) can be used to determine RV systolic function. This study compared RV longitudinal strain values of two different speckle tracking software technologies, velocity vector imaging (VVI) and two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE), and longitudinal strain by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
MethodsWe studied 36 patients (28 men,...
