Introduction: The myocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic method, based on the pressure-strain loop, which allows quantifying the cardiac performance. On the other hand, the pulse wave velocity (PWV) evaluates arterial stiffness, knowing that as the stiffness of an artery increases, the transmission velocity of the anterograde and the retrograde sphygmic wave increases.

Keywords: Myocardial work, Pulse wave velocity, Stiffness
