Speckle-Tracking Echocardiographic Strain Analysis Reliably Estimates Degree of Acute LV Unloading During Mechanical LV Support by Impella
{{output}}
Non-invasive means of evaluating appropriate cardiac unloading remain to be established. We hypothesized that myocardial deformation assessed by echocardiographic speckle-tracking strain analysis can reliably estimate the degree of left ventricular (LV) unload... ...
