Myocardial tissue phase mapping reveals impaired myocardial tissue velocities in obesity.

Although obesity is linked to heart failure on a population level, not all obese subjects develop cardiac failure. As a result, identifying obese subjects with subclinical changes in myocardial velocities may enable earlier detection of those susceptible to developing overt heart failure. As echocar...
