Impact of pre-excitation syndrome on left ventricular systolic function and cardiac synchronization assessed by tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking techniques
Background: The pathogenic mechanism for the development of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with asymptomatic pre-excitation syndrome has not yet been fully elucidated. We sought to assess the impact of pre-excitation on LV systolic function and whether the use of tissue Doppler imagin...
