Global longitudinal strain as a predictor of response to cardiac contractility modulation in patients with heart failure: a case series
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) in heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is an innovative therapy which may contribute to increased exercise capacity and quality of life and reduced hospitalizations. With speckle-tracking echocardiography and global longitudinal strain (GLS), changes in myocardial function can be detected with…
