Assessment of left ventricular myocardial function before and after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with angina pectoris using two-dimensional longitudinal strain echocardiography
|
Abstract:
Objective To explore the characteristics of two-dimensional strain of left ventricular myocardial function before and after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in the patients with angina pectoris (AP) by speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods A total of 32 patients with AP and 30 healthy volunteers were involved. High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded from the apical four-chamber view,two-chamber view and long-axis view of the left ventricle,respectively. The peak systolic longitudina...
