Purpose To assess the value of strain rate imaging in evaluating left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in chronic kidney disease(CKD).Materials and Methods A total of 71 patients with CKD(23 patients were in stage 3 of CKD,22 patients were in stage 4 of CKD and 26 patients were in stage 5 of CKD) and twenty healthy controls underwent echocardiography and strain rate imaging for systolic strain rate(SRs),early diastolic peak strain rate(SRe) and late diastolic peak strain rate(SRa) of basal.Result...
