Improvement of global longitudinal strain and myocardial work in type 2 diabetes patients on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors therapy
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) are a novel class of oral hypoglycaemic agents currently used among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The effects of SGLT2-i inhibitors on cardiac structure and function are not fully understood. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the echocardiographic…
Role of right ventricular myocardial work in the stratification of patients affected by Advanced Heart Failure
Anno:
2024
Background: Currently adopted echocardiographic parameters for the evaluation of right ventricle (RV) are all loading sensitive and their reliability remains poor. RV myocardial work (RVMW) emerged as an innovative non-invasive diagnostic tool that incorporates strain pressure loops and potentially overcomes the aforementioned limitation. No previous studies assessed the variations…
