Value of resting myocardial deformation assessment by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography to predict the presence, extent and localization of coronary artery affection in patients with suspected stable coronary artery disease

Value of resting myocardial deformation assessment by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography to predict the presence, extent and localization of coronary artery affection in patients with suspected stable coronary artery disease

Background: Myocardial deformation assessed by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) allows accurate evaluation of regional and global left ventricular (LV) function and is sensitive to detect abnormalities induced by ischemia. Aim: To examine the value of LV strain (S) and stra...
