Chronic pressure-overload induces right ventricular (RV) adaptation to maintain RV–
pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling. RV remodeling is frequently associated with secondary …

Background Left ventricular myocardial work (LVMW) is a novel method to assess left
ventricular (LV) function using pressure-strain loops that takes into consideration LV …

Aims Right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) is a novel method for non-invasive
assessment of right ventricular (RV) function utilizing RV pressure–strain loops. This study …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain has demonstrated incremental
prognostic value over LV ejection fraction in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial …

Aims This study aimed to determine whether lower values of left ventricular (LV) global work
index (GWI) at baseline were associated with a reduction in LV functional recovery and …

The present study aimed to investigate (1) the association between left ventricular diastolic
dysfunction (LVDD), graded according to the algorithm proposed by the Cirrhotic …

Background The prognostic impact of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease has not been previously studied. Objectives The …

Aims To perform a comparative analysis of right ventricle (RV) myocardial mechanics,
assessed by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), between patients with Fabry …

Noninvasive evaluation of indexes of right ventricular (RV) myocardial work (RVMW) derived
from RV pressure-strain loops may provide novel insights into RV function in precapillary …

Aims Moderate aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with an increased risk of adverse events.
Because outcomes in patients with AS are ultimately driven by the condition of the left …
