The novel non-invasive method for quantifying regional LV pressure-strain loop area correlates well with invasive myocardial work measurements.
A novel non-invasive method for quantifying regional LV pressure-strain loop area accurately estimates myocardial work compared to invasive measurements.
The novel non-invasive method for regional LV pressure-strain loop area corresponded well with invasive measurements and with directly measured myocardial work and it reflected myocardial metabolism. This method for assessment of regional work may be of clinical interest for several patients groups, including LV dyssynchrony and ischaemia.
Russell et al. (2012) studied this question. The novel non-invasive method for quantifying regional LV pressure-strain loop area correlates well with invasive myocardial work measurements.
