Depressed Cardiac Mechanical Energetic Efficiency: A Contributor to Cardiovascular Risk in Common Metabolic Diseases—From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications
Cardiac mechanical energetic efficiency is the ratio of external work (EW) to the total energy consumption. EW performed by the left ventricle (LV) during a single beat is represented by LV stroke work and may be calculated from the pressure–volume loop area (PVLA), while energy consumption correspo...
