Key Points

An increased EMAT is associated with lower cardiac function, reflecting possible adverse prognosis.
The analysis indicates linkage between higher EMAT and decline in LVEF metrics.
Results stem from a community cohort demonstrating correlation of electromechanical timing with clinical outcomes.
Identifying EMAT's role in heart function may inform patient prognostic evaluations.
