The value of speckle-tracking stratified strain combined with myocardial work measurement in evaluating left ventricular function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly prevalent progressive disease accompanied by poor quality of life, high utilization of medical resources, morbidity, and mortality. However, the role of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction has yet to be well elaborated despite the preservation of the LV ejection fraction. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of speckle-tracking stratified strain combined with myocardial work (MW) measurement in evaluating LV systolic dysfunction in patients with HFpEF.

Methods

A total of 125 study consecutive individuals, 64 HFpEF patients, and 61 controls were prospectively enrolled in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. In addition to the conventional echocardiographic
