Why the study?
Does the E/E'sr ratio combined with global longitudinal strain predict outcomes better than E/E' and LVEF in patients with systolic heart failure?

Comparison
Assessment of ratio of transmitral early filling… vs Traditional parameters (E/E' ratio and LVEF)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
median 46 months

May enhance prognostic stratification in SHF; leaves open incremental value over standard parameters in prospective studies.
Does the E/E'sr ratio combined with global longitudinal strain predict outcomes better than E/E' and LVEF in patients with systolic heart failure?
The E/E'sr ratio combined with global longitudinal strain provides superior prognostic value compared to traditional E/E' and LVEF in patients with systolic heart failure.
