Article Synopsis
- * Using speckle-tracking echocardiography, researchers measured three types of LA strain and tracked patient outcomes over an average of 2.7 years, finding that lower strain values correlated with worse clinical results.
- * LA strain metrics (particularly LASr < 20%) demonstrated superior prognostic value compared to traditional echocardiographic variables and were strongly linked to adverse outcomes like heart failure hospitalizations and mortality.
The presence of an excessive amount of water in lung is a sign of pulmonary edema which can be caused by heart failure. The current solutions for lung water detection involve the use of X-ray, CT scan or serum biomarkers, which require bulky and expensive instruments as well as long measurement duration. This paper reports on a study conducted on the use of a different sensing modality to detect the presence of water in lung.
