Evaluation of global and regional myocardial work by echocardiography in patients with Fabry disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the left ventricular global and regional myocardial work of patients in Fabry disease (FD) by echocardiographic pressure-strain loop (PSL) analysis.
resultsThe study included 48 patients with FD and 48 healthy controls matched for age and sex. According to the presence/absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the patients with FD were divided into an LVH + group and an LVH- group. Left ventricular blood pressure was estimated noninvasively according to echocardiographic valvular events and systolic pressure in the brachial artery. Left ventricular myocardial work parameters were acquired by echocardiographic pressure-strain loop analysis. The FD groups had a significantly lower global longitudinal strain (GLS), global work index, global work efficiency (GWE), global constructive work and higher global waste work than the control group (P < .05). Regional analysis showed that all segmental myocardial waste work increased and myocardial work efficiency decreased in the LVH + group than in the LVH- group (P < .05). Segmental longitudinal strain, myocardial work index, and myocardial constructive work were markedly lower in the basal and middle segments (P < .05) and preserved in the apical segments. Multivariate analysis revealed that GWE and GLS were significant related to LVH.
conclusionsMyocardial work analysis can be used to assess global and regional myocardial work in patients with FD. In this study, GLS and GWE were reduced in patients with FD and associated with the presence of LVH. Basal and middle myocardial work decreased in relation to the LVH, while apical myocardial work remained, which added value to explore the distribution of myocardial impairment.
