Associations of increased arterial stiffness with left ventricular ejection performance and right ventricular systolic pressure in mitral regurgitation before and after surgery: Wave intensity analysis
Background: The effect of increased arterial stiffness on mitral regurgitation (MR) is not clear. Using wave intensity (WI) analysis, which is useful for analyzing ventriculo-arterial interaction, we aimed to elucidate associations of increased arterial stiffness with left ventricular (LV) ejection...
