M-mode apical systolic excursion: A new and simple method to evaluate global left ventricular longitudinal strain
Introduction: Since M-mode measurements can assess deformation of specific regions of the left ventricle, we hypothesized that M-mode measurements like M-mode apical systolic excursion (MMASE) and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) may be correlated with left ventricular longitudinal st...
