Segmental and global longitudinal strain measurement by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in severe rheumatic mitral stenosis
Abstract Background The present study aimed to detect subtle left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) by measuring global and segmental longitudinal strain with a two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) method. Methods In this case-c...
