Abstract
We hypothesized left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony would affect postexercise accommodation of regional myocardial motion in patients with heart failure and a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF).
Subjects
Heart failure with a normal ejection fraction; dyssynchrony; myocardial contraction; exercise; CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY; EXERCISE-ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY; DYSFUNCTION; ABNORMALITIES; INSIGHTS; STRAIN; TIME
