Prognostic Value of Preoperative 2-Dimensional Left Ventricular, Right Ventricular, and Left Atrial Strain in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Prospective Observational Study.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether preoperative speckle-tracking strain of the left ventricle, right ventricle, and left atrium predicts new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and other adverse outcomes after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). DESIGN Prospective, single-center, observational,...
