Comprehensive assessment of left ventricular myocardial function by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Comprehensive assessment of left ventricular myocardial function by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Abstract Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) results from the combined action of longitudinal and circumferential contraction, radial thickening, and basal and apical rotation. The study of these parameters together may lead to an accurate assessment of the cardiac function. Methods...
