The aim of this study was to assess longitudinal systolic function and mechanical synchrony parameters derived from advanced speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and to determine their correlation with N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Their influence on heart failure (HF) outcomes at a one-year follow-up, not clarified in previous studies, was also examined.
