Global dyssynchrony correlates with compromised left ventricular filling and stroke volume but not with ejection fraction or QRS duration in HFpEF

Global dyssynchrony correlates with compromised left ventricular filling and stroke volume but not with ejection fraction or QRS duration in HFpEF

Background and Aim: Mechanical global left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony reflected as prolonged total isovolumic time (t-IVT) has been introduced as a potential mechanism behind compromised stroke volume in heart failure (HF). It has also been shown to be superior to other markers of dyssynchrony in...
