Left ventricular twist in left ventricular noncompaction
2013
European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging
Aims Left ventricular (LV) twist is an important component of systolic function. The effect of abnormal LV twist on adverse remodelling of the heart in left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is unknown. This study used speckle-tracking echocardiography to evaluate LV twist in patients with LVNC and determine whether abnormal LV twist is associated with more adverse LV remodelling. Methods and results Clinical, echocardiographic, and myocardial deformation characteristics were prospectively
