Key result
Echocardiography with velocity vector imaging identified reverse left ventricular apical rotation in a 56-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the presence of reverse apical rotation in dilated cardiomyopathy, which may have implications for therapeutic decisions such as cardiac resynchronization therapy.
