Enhancing an echocardiographic tool, aimed to detect even subtle left ventricular (LV)
systolic function abnormalities, capable of obtaining both early diagnosis and risk prediction …

Aims Myocardial work (MW) estimation by pressure-strain loops using speckle tracking
echocardiography (STE) has shown to evaluate left ventricular (LV) contraction overcoming …

Traditionally, echocardiography is used for volumetric measurements to aid in assessment
of cardiac function. Multiple echocardiographic-based assessment techniques have been …

Background Myocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic tool with a high sensitivity to
detect early and subtle alterations of myocardial function. We aimed to evaluate the late …

Aims Complete haematologic response to treatment for light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-
CA) may lead to improvement of myocardial function and better outcomes. We sought to …
