Abstract
Introduction Global left ventricular (LV) end-systolic wall stress (LVESWS) is related to remodeling and can be quickly and reliably assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). LVESWS has previously been shown to inversely correlate with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the relationship of these markers in patients with different types of LV dysfunction has not been well demonstrated.
Highlights
Global left ventricular (LV) end-systolic wall stress (LVESWS) is related to remodeling and can be quickly and reliably assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
Patients referred to the CMR centre from July 2005-September 2009 were retrospectively screened for whether regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were assessed
LVESWS was compared between patients with and without RWMA, with this analysis repeated for subgroups categorized as having normal or abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (
Summary
