EXPRESS: Evaluation of Left Atrial Reservoir Strain by Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography in Cats with Stage B1 Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES Left atrial reservoir strain (LA S_R), assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), reflects left atrial (LA) function and may reveal subtle alterations in LA mechanics in cats with American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) stage B1 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)...
