  5. 39. Prognostic and diagnostic value of tissue Doppler in patients with systolic heart failure

    Författare :Jens Olson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Heart failure;

    Sammanfattning : Heart failure (HF) is a condition where the heart fails to meet the need of delivery of oxygen and energy to the tissues.
