The implementation of speckle tracking echocardiography for cardiac resynchronization therapy optimisation. A rotational myocardial mechanics interpretation

Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has an additive therapeutic influence on left ventricular function in heart failure patients, but the underlying mechanisms through which it works are not completely explained. Our aim was to further elucidate the role of this intervention...
