Two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in detection of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with severe aortic stenosis

Introduction: Subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction may develop in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) despite normal LV ejection fraction (EF%). The aim of the study: To evaluate the role of two dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in detection of subclini...
