Incremental value of early systolic lengthening and postsystolic shortening in detecting left anterior descending artery stenosis using nonstress speckle-tracking echocardiography

Incremental value of early systolic lengthening and postsystolic shortening in detecting left anterior descending artery stenosis using nonstress speckle-tracking echocardiography

Abstract The diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) with nonstress echocardiography remains challenging. Although the assessment of either early systolic lengthening (ESL) or postsystolic shortening (PSS) allows the sensitive detection of CAD, it is unclear whether the integrated analysis of ESL...
