Myocardial contractile dysfunction associated with increased 3-month and 1-year mortality in hospitalized patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction

Abstract Background There is a clinical need for a contractility index that reflects myocardial contractile dysfunction even when ejection fraction (EF) is preserved. We used novel relative load-independent global and regional contractility indices to compare left ventricular (LV) contractile functi...
