AimsTo observe the ventricular global and regional function of the patients with systemic amyloidosis using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.
MethodsThe study enrolled 31 consecutive biopsy‐proved patients with systemic amyloidosis who underwent echocardiographic examination and EF ≥ 55% and 37 age‐ and gender‐matched healthy controls. We compared systolic strain and strain rate,...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) develops in response to a variety of physical, genetic, and biochemical stimuli and represents the early stage of ventricular remodeling. In patients with LVH, subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction despite normal ejection fraction (EF) may be present before the onset of symptoms, which portends a dismal prognosis. Strain measurement with two‐dimensional speckle...
