TL;DR

To identify subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in hypertensive subjects with pre-served ejection fraction (>55%), global parameters of myocardial strain on speckle tracking imaging are identified by global parameters of myocardial strain on speckle tracking imaging.

Evaluation of right ventricular function by echocardiography, including speckle echocardiography, in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disorder with myocardial involvement invariably associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and progressive disorder chamber enlargement. Although LV assessment predominates in clinical evaluation, right ventricular (RV) function plays a crucial role in determining p...

Subclinical myocardial dysfunction assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in children and adolescents with prediabetes

Aim Prediabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity. Although cardiovascular dysfunction is well documented in diabetes, evidence regarding cardiac involvement in children with prediabetes remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate subclinical myocardial dysfunction using two-dimensional...

Left Atrial Strain as an Integrative Marker of Diastolic Dysfunction and Atrial Fibrillation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Background and Objectives: Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is challenging, as conventional parameters correlate poorly with left ventricular filling pressure. Emerging evidence suggests that left atrial (LA) strain is associated with atr...

Left ventricular myocardial strain analysis by feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases: A case-control study.

Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases exhibit subclinical left ventricular dysfunction despite preserved ejection fraction and absence of myocardial fibrosis on late gadolinium enhancement imaging, as well as significant reductions in circumferential and longitudinal strain rate parameters.
