Abstract:BackgroundAnalysis of left atrial (LA) strain and left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) have prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases. However, the prognostic value of LA strain and LACI in patients with suspected myocarditis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is unclear.PurposeTo investigate the prognostic value of LA strain and LACI in patients with suspected myocarditis and preserved LVEF in comparison with conventional MRI outcome predictors.Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationO… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
