AI Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed left ventricular (LV) function in 99 studies by looking at global tissue Doppler velocity, strain rate, and strain.
- Significant correlations were found between LV ejection fraction and the assessed metrics: global tissue Doppler velocity (r = 0.50), strain (r = 0.63), and strain rate (r = 0.46), with all results being statistically significant (p <0.001).
- The findings suggest that these global assessments could be effective tools for evaluating LV function.
Article Abstract
The relations between left ventricular (LV) function and global tissue Doppler velocity, strain rate, and strain were assessed in 99 studies. Significant correlations were found between the LV ejection fraction and global tissue Doppler velocity, strain, and strain rate (r = 0.50, r = 0.63, and r = 0.46, respectively, all p <0.001), suggesting that this global assessment may be useful in evaluating LV function.
