Myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) can be easily approximated by the ratio of stroke work [i.e. SBP times stroke volume (SV)] to a rough estimate of energy consumption, the 'double product' [SBP times heart rate (HR)], which can be simplified as SV/HR.

Abstract
Myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) can be easily approximated by the ratio of stroke work [i.e. SBP times stroke volume (SV)] to a rough estimate of energy consumption, the 'double product' [SBP times heart rate (HR)], which can be simplified as SV/HR. We evaluated whether MEE is associated with adverse prognosis in relation to the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
