Diagnostic potential of myocardial early systolic lengthening for patients with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
BackgroundDuring early systole, ischemic myocardium with reduced active force experiences early systolic lengthening (ESL). This study aimed to...

The association between myocardial early systolic lengthening and high risk angiographic territory involvement in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
BackgroundNon-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is more common than ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), consisting...

Evaluation of subclinical left ventricular myocardial systolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without diabetes peripheral neuropathy by global myocardial work
AimsSpeckle-tracking echocardiography can non-invasively estimate myocardial work (MW) to evaluate left ventricular (LV) myocardial systolic...

Post-systolic shortening is superior to global longitudinal strain in predicting adverse events in patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved systolic function
BackgroundPost-systolic shortening (PSS) is an important indicator for early identifying myocardial dysfunction. We aimed to investigate the...

Longitudinal diastolic strain slope as an early sign for systolic dysfunction among patients with active cancer
BackgroundDiastolic dysfunction is a common finding in patients receiving cancer therapy. This study evaluated the correlation of diastolic strain...

Myocardial motion in acute ischemia: revealing invisible deformation by echocardiography
Echocardiography has been used clinically to assess regional myocardial wall motion for the diagnosis of acute myocardial ischemia or stress-induced...
-
The duration of early systolic lengthening may predict ischemia from scar tissue in patients with chronic coronary total occlusion lesions
In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of early systolic lengthening duration in differentiating myocardial ischemia from scar...

The prognostic value of myocardial deformational patterns on all-cause mortality is modified by ischemic cardiomyopathy in patients with heart failure
Early systolic lengthening and postsystolic shortening may yield prognostic information in cardiovascular high-risk groups. We aimed to investigate...
