However, the measurement of MW requires specific vendor software that may not be ubiquitous accessible. We aimed to explore the feasibility of using a nonproprietary method, peak myocardial work index (PMW)\u2009=\u2009systolic blood pressure * global longitudinal strain, as a potential substitute to global constructive work (GCW) for the assessment of left ventricular function. A retrospective analysis of 116 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and an equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy controls examined from June 2009 to July 2014 was conducted. Compared to healthy controls, the PMW index and GCW were significantly lower in DCM patients: 1371\u2009\u00b1\u2009541 vs. 2520\u2009\u00b1\u2009361\u00a0mm Hg%, 1318\u2009\u00b1\u2009502 vs. 2322\u2009\u00b1\u2009333\u00a0mm Hg%, respectively (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for each). Additionally, PMW showed an excellent correlation with GCW (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.99,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). During a mean follow-up time of 5.1 years, 34 patients (29.3%) reached the composite endpoints: 5 patients received cardiac transplantation, 17 patients were hospitalized due to heart failure, 9 patients received appropriate ICD therapy and 3 patients died. PMW per 50\u00a0mm Hg% increase (HR\u2009=\u20090.92, 95%CI 0.89\u20130.96,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and GCW per 50\u00a0mm Hg% increase (HR\u2009=\u20090.91, 95%CI 0.88\u20130.95,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) performed comparably in predicting adverse outcomes in DCM patients in the univariate Cox regression analyses.
