Objective In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), there are several studies that
assessed the left ventricular (LV) function by strain (S) and strain rate (SR) imaging. The aim …

Objective—To assess the feasibility and reproducibility of longitudinal tissue Doppler
ultrasonographic imaging with regard to determination of velocity, strain, and strain rate (SR) …

Electromechanical characterization during atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a significant gap in
the understanding of AF-related atrial myopathy. This study reports mechanistic insights into …

Heart failure (HF) with normal ejection fraction-the isolated diastolic heart failure, depicts
increasing prevalence and health care burden in recent times. Having less mortality rate …

Background Non-dippers were reported as showing different left atrial function, compared to
dippers, but no study to date investigated the changes in the left atrial function according to …

Assuming that atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left atrial remodeling and dysfunction,
we hypothesize that left atrial and left atrial appendage ejection fractions (LAEF and LAAEF) …
