Abstract:Background
Right ventricular free wall (RVFWLS) and four-chamber longitudinal strain (RV4CLS) are associated with adverse events in various patient populations including patients with heart failure (HF). We sought to investigate the prognostic value of RVFWLS and RV4CLS for the development of incident HF in participants from the general population.
Methods
Participants from the 5th Copenhagen City Heart Study (2011-2015) with… Show more
