Myocardial function and myocardial work in young adults born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight – a regional cohort study

Abstract: Background Preterm birth and low birthweight have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and heart failure at young adult age. However, clinical studies of myocardial function have reported diverging results. Echocardiographic strain analyses allow detection of subclinical early stages of cardiac dysfunction, and non-invasively estimation of myocardial work derived from left ventricular pressure-strain loops provides additional information on cardiac function. … Show more
