EFFECTS OF CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY MODULATION THERAPY ON LEFT VENTRICLE GLOBAL LONGITUDINAL STRAIN AND MYOCARDIAL MECHANO-ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE WITH REDUCED EJECTION FRACTION
Anno:
2023
Background: Impairment of myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) is present in virtually all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) improves the quality of life and functional capacity, reduces hospitalizations, and induces biventricular reverse remodeling in patients with HFrEF. However, the effects of this…
