Echocardiographic predictors of mortality in heart failure from Chagas cardiomyopathy: Refining risk stratification with speckle-tracking echocardiography
In a cohort of patients with heart failure from Chagas cardiomyopathy residing in remote areas, GLS emerged as an independent predictor of mortality, improving risk stratification beyond standard echocardiographic parameters, particularly in patients with early stages of cardiac involvement. STE offers a valuable tool in clinical settings, improving risk assessment and providing guidance for the management of this population.
