Abstract
Aim: The impact of reduced myocardial contractility on patients’ outcomes with advanced heart failure (HF) and the correct measurement units for its measure is most important. The present work aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI), which is considered a measure of myocardial contractility, in patients with advanced HF. Material and Methods: Between September 2010 and July 2013, 172 patients with advanced HF admitted to the hospital to guide the specified therapies were included in this study. At baseline, patients were assessed with cardiac catheter-based hemodynamic measurements, ensued by the longitudinal follow-up (median of 52 months) for adverse outcomes (cardiac mortality, ventricular assist device (VAD) placement, and heart transplant (HTx)). Results: Median LVSWI was 16 cJ/m2. Decreased LVSWI (
