Longitudinal strain reflects the interaction of myocardial contractility to afterload in rat models of hemodynamic overload-induced heart failure
Abstract Background Two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)-derived myocardial strain parameters are sensitive markers of left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Novel findings suggest that the contractile state of the myocardium, afterload and preload are major determinants of...
