Heart strain scans help spot hidden heart failure risk

Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.
