Scoring System for Prediction of Left Ventricular Longitudinal Myocardial Dysfunction in Preclinical Heart Failure Patients

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Detection of left ventricular (LV) abnormalities is essential for patients with preclinical heart failure (HF) to delay progression to clinical HF. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive marker for the early occurrence of subtle abnormalities in LV function, but not all echocardiographic instruments can measure GLS. METHODS AND RESULTS: [female]=1 point, LV ejection fraction <59%=2 points, E/e' >14=1 point). CONCLUSIONS: Our scoring system provides an easy-to-use evaluation of LV longitudinal myocardial dysfunction, and may prove useful for risk stratification of patients with preclinical HF.
