Systolic Function and Intraventricular Mechanical Dyssynchrony Assessed by Advanced Speckle Tracking Imaging with N-terminal Prohormone of Brain Natriuretic Peptide for Outcome Prediction in CHF Pts.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess longitudinal systolic function and mechanical synchrony parameters derived from advanced speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and to determine their correlation with N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Their influence on heart failure (HF) o …
