Background This study aimed to evaluate the twist/untwist parameters of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) measured by ultrasonic two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and to examine the correlations between twist paramet...
