Abstract:Background
Noninvasive left ventricular pressure-strain myocardial work (MW) is a novel method for evaluating left ventricular function that integrates myocardial deformation and afterload and has certain advantages over global longitudinal strain (GLS). The study aimed to analyze MW in patients with well-functioning bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and explore the influences of aortic dilation and arterial stiffness on left ventricular function.
