The relationship between presystolic wave and subclinical left ventricular dysfunction assessed by myocardial performance ındex in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract:Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in an earlier stage. Myocardial performance index (MPI) reflects both systolic and diastolic dysfunction. A presystolic wave (PSW) detected on late diastole has been found to be associated with LVD.
Aims:We sought to determine whether there is an association between PSW and subclinical LVD assessed by MPI in PCOS patients.
Methods:We prospectively enrolled 106 patients diagnosed with PCOS in this study.Patients were d… 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.
