Assessment of left ventricular systolic function and synchrony using realtime three-dimensional echocardiolograph and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging in patients with coronary heart disease
AIM To assess the clinical value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiolography( RT-3DE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging( 2D-STI) in evaluating left ventricular( LV) global systolic function and synchrony in patients with myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction and to investigate the correlation of the two techniques in left ventricular synchrony. METHODS RT-3DE and2D-STI were performed in 46 patients with myocardial ischemia,44 patients with myocardial infarction and 60 healthy subjec...
