Use of speckle-tracking strain in preload-dependent patients, need for cautious interpretation!

Abstract Background In critical patients, left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening are used to reflect left ventricular systolic function. An emerging technique, two-dimensional-strain echocardiography, allows assessment of the left ventricle systolic longitudinal deformation (gl...
