Highlights
- •
-
Strain echocardiography can detect altered myocardial mechanics in patients with AS.
- •
-
Pronounced mechanical dispersion is associated with worse prognosis in patients with AS.
- •
-
Mechanical dispersion adds incremental prognostic value to LVEF, atrioventricular impedance, and global longitudinal strain.
- •
-
Mechanical dispersion predicts mortality independently of LVEF and AVR surgery status.
.
Recente descoberta do Strain, a dispersão mecânica responde perguntas anteriormente dedicadas a RM.
.
Muito mais fácil e barata de realizar, a avaliação da dispersão mecânica pode virar essencial.
