Abstract:Background: New index of pulse wave velocity to global longitudinal peak systolic strain (PWV/GLPSS) was reported to be associated with cardiovascular damage. We evaluated the prognostic role of this metric in survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Material and methods: We investigated in 569 patients with AMI, whether PWV/ GLPSS was associated with a composite endpoint of death, stroke or new myocardial infarction, in long-term follow-up. Left ventricular longitudinal strain was evaluated by speckle … 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.
