Do TDI-derived deformation indices more accurately detect abnormal longitudinal systolic function than myocardial velocities in patients with HFnEF?
TDI-derived deformation indices may offer superior detection of abnormal longitudinal systolic function compared to traditional myocardial velocities in patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction.
In patients with HFnEF, TDI-derived deformation indices may more accurately detect abnormal systolic function than myocardial velocities.
Carluccio et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
