Changes in speckle-tracking-derived mechanical dispersion index are associated with 30-day readmissions in acute heart failure

Abstract Background The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between speckle-tracking-derived parameters left ventricular (LV) mechanical dispersion index (MDI), defined as the standard deviation of the time-to-peak longitudinal strain of all segments analyzed of the LV, a...
