Description
Viktória Nagy, Gergely Rácz, and their co-authors mapped how a set of heart work measures relate to each other in people with a thickened heart muscle disease. The study appeared in 2025, though the catalog lists it under 2026. These work measures, drawn from ultrasound scans, aim to describe how well the heart contracts beyond simple strain values.
The team studied 118 patients, 68 whose disease does not block blood flow and 50 whose disease does. They computed strain plus four work measures, covering total work, useful work, wasted work, and efficiency. Strain tracked total and useful work closely in all groups. The paper gives a technical map of how the measures overlap, which helps doctors avoid reading the same signal twice.
