Abstract | ||||
The traditional echocardiographic parameters can evaluate the left ventricular (LV) diastolic function later to mitral valve opening (MVO), while the LV untwisting predominantly occurs during the isovolumic relaxation interval (IVRT) before MVO, so its assessment reflects the LV relaxation. The aim of this study was to employ speckle-tracking imaging (STI) to examine the LV untwisting during IVRT in patients with diastolic dysfunction. | ||||
