pubmed:abstractText
Left ventricular (LV) systolic function is better characterized by midwall mechanics in patients with LV hypertrophy than by endocardial LV function, and the midwall mechanics is an independent predictor of prognosis. However, a complex calculation is currently required to assess it, and it is not routinely assessable in clinical practice. Tissue Doppler imaging enables tracking of a point within the LV wall though a cardiac cycle; we tested our hypothesis that the tissue Doppler tracking technique provides an instantaneous and reliable evaluation of midwall mechanics.
