Myocardial strain for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction but without diastolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Some patients with apparent heart failure (HF) have an ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% and elevated levels of natriuretic peptides (NPs), but no significant diastolic dysfunction. Among these, some may have HF, others may not. Myocardial strain is an excellent prognostic factor. Methods a...
