Chronic Mitral Regurgitation: A Pilot Study to Assess Preoperative Left Ventricular Contractile Function Using Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography
Journal of The American Society of Echocardiography, 07/02/09

De Isla LP et al. - IVS longitudinal speckle tracking–derived strain rate allows the accurate detection of early abnormalities in LV contractile function. It is a powerful predictor of early postoperative LVEF decreases in patients with chronic severe MR. Furthermore, speckle-tracking technology is more accurate than other methods. This new tool might assist clinicians in the optimal timing of surgery in patients with chronic severe MR.
