Left ventricular strain and peak systolic velocity: responses to controlled changes in load and contractility, explored in a porcine model

Left ventricular strain and peak systolic velocity: responses to controlled changes in load and contractility, explored in a porcine model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tissue velocity echocardiography is increasingly used to evaluate global and regional cardiac function. Previous studies have suggested that the quantitative measurements obtained during ejection are reliable indices of contractility...
