Left Ventricular Outflow Indices in Chronic Systolic Heart Failure: Thresholds and Prognostic Value
A LVOT-VTI < 12.0 cm represents the best predictor of the cardiovascular outcome and proved the most reproducible index of LV forward flow in patients with chronic HF and systolic dysfunction. The combination of impaired LVOT-VTI with TAPSE/PASP showed the worst survival.
