P.49 Aortic Root Longitudinal Strain by Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography: Comparison with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Predictive Value in Marfan Syndrome Patients

Background: Low longitudinal strain of the ascending aorta (AAo) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) predicts dilation and aortic events in Marfan syndrome (MFS) [1], possibly reflecting aortic stiffness [2]. Speckle-tracking is established for cardiac deformation, but proximal aorta applications ar...
