✦ Synopsis

Although total left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) is equal in healthy subjects and heart failure patients with mild LV remodeling, the SV's transventricular flow paths to ejection and diastolic energetics are different. These flow-specific markers of inefficiency of the failing heart are detectable prior to clinical decompensation, and might be predictors of progressive adverse cardiac remodeling.
