Left ventricle ejection fraction and strain derived by three-dimensional echocardiography are associated with exercise capacity in the patients with heart failure [PDF]
Background/Aim. Echocardiography represents the most commonly performed noninvasive cardiac imaging tests for the patients with heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the exercise capacity parameters [peak oxygen
