Myocardial work: The analytical methodology and clinical utilities
Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2022 The evaluation of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is an essential part of the clinical practice of cardiology. Although left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most validated and widely used parameter, it has fundamental limitations.

Global myocardial work parameters measured by the index beat method are comparable to the average of 10 beats in patients during atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineIntroductionEvaluation of left ventricular (LV) global systolic function is clinically important for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the rhythm irregularity inherent to AF poses challenges for assessing novel LV systolic function ...
