Abstract: Myocardial contraction fraction (MCF; stroke volume รท myocardial volume) has outperformed ejection fraction (EF) in several clinical settings. We sought to assess the relationship between MCF and adverse events after valve replacement (VR) for severe… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is the most commonly used echocardiographic measurement of LV systolic function. Myocardial contraction fraction (MCF) may be a more accurate assessment of LV systolic function than EF. Limited data… read more here.
