Feasibility and reference values of left atrial longitudinal strain imaging by two-dimensional speckle tracking
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The role of speckle tracking in the assessment of left atrial (LA) deformation dynamics is not established. We sought to determine the feasibility and reference ranges of LA longitudinal strain indices measured by speckle tracking in...
