Does echocardiographic left ventricular end-diastolic pressure volume loop estimate predict survival in congestive heart failure?
EDPVE is a strong predictor of CHF survival which is independent of LV ejection fraction and traditional Doppler indices of LV diastolic function.
These findings support MVs as a potential pathway/mechanism of excessive glutamate generation and neurotoxicity in HAND and therefore MVs may serve as a novel therapeutic target.
