Association between aortic stenosis severity and contractile reserve measured by two-dimensional strain under low-dose dobutamine testing

Association between aortic stenosis severity and contractile reserve measured by two-dimensional strain under low-dose dobutamine testing

Background/Aim. Early detection of left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction could be a clue for surgical treatment in patients with significant aortic stenosis (AS). Therefore, we evaluated LV peak of global longitudinal strain (PGLS) using speckle tracking imaging at rest and during low-dose dob...
