Impact of left ventricular rotational mechanics on clinical outcomes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) defines left ventricular (LV) dilation and dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease or abnormal loading conditions. The studies identified LV rotational mechanics by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) as a sensitive marker of LV function. The study...
