The value of myocardial torsion and aneurysm volume for evaluating cardiac function in rabbit with left ventricular aneurysm.

OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to investigate the effect of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) volume and left ventricular global torsion on cardiac function by real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2D-STI), to determine the accuracy of RT-3DE an...
