Measurement assessment of myocardial radial strain rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by improved anatomic M-mode echocardiography
|
Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of measuring minor-axis radial strain rate of left ventricular (LV) by improved anatomic M-mode echocardiography (IAMM). Methods Twenty-six healthy volunteers (HV group) and twenty-seven patients (DM group) with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study. The radial strain rates of 6 segments at LV minor-axis papillary muscle level were measured by IAMM and speckle tracking imaging (STI) technology,respectively,in the two groups,and the rates were also used to...
