Preserved LV twist and EF despite impaired biventricular strain in stable HTX recipients; leaves open STE's role in post-transplant surveillance.
Although recently studies using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) on heart transplant (HTX) recipients have been published, an integrated assessment of myocardial properties is lacking. Thus our aim was to perform, by STE, an integrated study of ventricular mechanics in "healthy" HTX recipients. M/F = 37/13,
