Area of the pressure-strain loop during ejection as non-invasive index of left ventricular performance: a population study

Abstract Background Previous studies highlighted the usefulness of integrating left ventricular (LV) deformation (strain) and hemodynamic parameters to quantify LV performance. In a population sample, we investigated the anthropometric and clinical determinants of a novel non-invasive index of LV sy...
