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 …

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

Aims Non-invasive left ventricular (LV) pressure–strain loop (PSL) provides a novel method
of quantifying myocardial work (MW) with potential advantages over conventional global …

Aims To obtain the normal ranges for 2D echocardiographic (2DE) indices of myocardial
work (MW) from a large group of healthy volunteers over a wide range of ages and gender …

Background Noninvasive detection of functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD)
by echocardiography remains challenging, with the need to perform stress imaging to detect …

Purpose The area of left ventricular (LV) pressure–strain loop (PSL) is used as an index of
regional myocardial work. The purpose of the present work is to compare the main …

Background Noninvasive left ventricular (LV) pressure-strain loop analysis is emerging as a
new echocardiographic method to evaluate LV function, integrating longitudinal strain by …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) plays a pivotal role in the management of
patients with heart failure (HF) and wide QRS complex. However, the treatment is plagued …

Background Global left ventricular (LV) myocardial work efficiency, the ratio of constructive to
wasted work in all LV segments, reflects the efficiency by which mechanical energy is …

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure is plagued by too
many nonresponders. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the estimation of …
