Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative 3-dimensional speckle-tracking myocardial deformation analysis and examine immediate changes in twist, torsion, and strain after aortic valve replacement.
Is intraoperative 3-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography feasible for myocardial deformation analysis in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement?
Is intraoperative 3-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography feasible for myocardial deformation analysis in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement?
Intraoperative 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography is feasible in over 60% of patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement, though it showed no immediate changes in myocardial deformation parameters post-surgery.
Intraoperative 3D speckle-tracking deformation analysis is feasible in AVR; leaves open its clinical utility and requires prospective validation.
