Early impairment of left ventricular function in patients with systemic hypertension: New insights with 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

Early impairment of left ventricular function in patients with systemic hypertension: New insights with 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

Background: Two-dimensional strain imaging allows rapid and accurate analysis of regional left ventricular (LV) principal strains in the longitudinal, radial, and circumferential directions. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of subtle differences in LV principal strains to characterize...
