Perinatal changes in ventricular mechanics in transposition of the great arteries: a prospective longitudinal speckle-tracking echocardiography study
Background Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is characterized by parallel circulation dependent on intercirculatory mixing. The impact of perinatal hemodynamic changes on myocardial mechanics remains poorly understood. The main objective of the study was to evaluate perinatal changes in ventricular strain in TG...
