Peak exercise myocardial deformation indices during cardiopulmonary exercise testing are associated with exercise capacity and ventilatory efficiency in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Objective: Little is known about the exercise-induced changes in the multidimensional mechanical properties of the heart. We aimed to evaluate the myocardial deformation indices (MDI) at rest and their response at peak exercise during the same cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) session, investi...
