Left Ventricular Long-Axis Function Assessed with Cardiac Cine MR Imaging Is an Independent Predictor of All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Multicenter Study

摘要

Lateral mitral annular plane systolic excursion, as a surrogate for left ventricular long-axis function, was a significant independent and incremental predictor of all-cause death in a large multicenter population of patients with reduced ejection fraction.
