Ultrasonic image analysis of longitudinal strain in uremic patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction

Abstract Background Patients with uremia have high cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality despite having normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Longitudinal strain (LS) can be associated with subtle changes in LV systolic function. The aim of this study was to use two-dimensional...
