Abstract:
Several echocardiographic parameters are suitable for the evaluation of left ventricular function. Although left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain are widely used parameters, limitations are still persisting. Non-invasive estimation of global myocardial work has become a new clinical opportunity, which combines speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived strain analysis with systolic blood pressure measured by brachial cuff. Calculated parameters make a load-independent choice for featuring left ventricular function. The present review aimed a short demonstration of this methodology together with early results based on literature. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(13): 495-499.
