Apical but not basal RV strain reflects right ventricular dysfunction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Apical but not basal RV strain reflects right ventricular dysfunction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract Background RV dysfunction is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality in cardiac patients, especially those having dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Deformation imaging parameters (strain and strain rate) are established as new echocardiographic measures that allow for both global and...
