A 42-year-old woman was referred for cardiac evaluation for non-specific chest pain over the past 8 months. Physical examination revealed a systolic thrill at the left sternal border and a loud ...
Abstract Aims Echocardiographic evaluation of 2D longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) can detect initial impairment of left ventricular (LV) function in heart disease. Intra-operator, ...
