Left ventricular and atrial strain and the risk of mortality and rehospitalization in heart failure
In patients with acute HF, strain parameters predict prognosis, with poorer outcomes. Notably, decreasing LAr was associated with increased risk of both death and rehospitalization for HF, whereas decreasing GLS was only associated with higher mortality risk.
