Summary: This study found that 2D global longitudinal strain (GLS) is associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with left bundle-branch block, but the predictive value of 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography has not been investigated in these patients. The study retrospectively analyzed the association between 2D and 3D strains and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with preserved or reduced LVEF. The results showed that 2D-GLS is predictive of maintaining LVEF in patients with preserved LVEF, while a lower 3D-global circumferential strain is associated with persistently reduced LVEF in patients with reduced LVEF.

Summary: This research presents a material strategy for the development of a stretchable conductive nanocomposite with high conductivity, stretchability, low cytotoxicity, and low impedance. The combination of silver-gold-platinum core-shell-shell nanowires and in situ synthesized platinum nanoparticles contributes to the desired material characteristics. The highly embossed structure of the outermost Pt shell and the gold-platinum double-layer sheath prevent leaching of cytotoxic Ag ions and minimize impedance, while the homogeneously dispersed Pt NPs enhance conductivity, reduce impedance, and improve stretchability.
