Myocardial Work Assessment for the Prediction of Prognosis in Advanced Heart Failure

Myocardial Work Assessment for the Prediction of Prognosis in Advanced Heart Failure

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether echocardiographic assessment of myocardial work is a predictor of outcome in advanced heart failure.Background: Global work index (GWI) and global constructive work (GCW) are calculated by means of speckle tracking, blood pressure measurem...
