Background
Although global longitudinal strain (GLS) is recognized as a sensitive marker of intrinsic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, its afterload dependency has also been pointed. We hypothesized that decrease in GLS during handgrip exercise could be more sensitive marker of intrinsic myocardial dysfunction.
Methods
Handgrip exercise‐stress echocardiography was performed in 90 cardiovascular...
Although the presence and physiological significance of late‐diastolic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have been reported, those in TR occurring in early diastole have not been well known. We herein first presented a case of heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy showing functional TR occurring in the early‐diastolic phase in whom the mechanism for its genesis could be precisely assessed from echocardiographic...
