These results suggest that global 2D strain might provide useful information on myocardial fibrosis and cardiac events in HCM patients with normal chamber function.
The data suggest that large artery stiffening is linked to a reduction of CFVR, which may partially explain the higher cardiac event rate in patients with increased large artery stiffness.
These results suggest that strain-based LV radial dyssynchrony and E/e' as well as LV torsion are related to diastolic untwisting behaviour in patients with DCM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
