Evaluation of the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion on regional myocardial function using strain echocardiography
Abstract Background Successful revascularization of chronic total occlusions has been associated with potential effects on left ventricular (LV) function. Strain and strain rate are more sensitive measures of LV mechanics than LV ejection fraction (LVEF). This study was conducted to investigate the...
