| Abstract | METHODS • Thirty five consecutive patients with moderate and severe chronic AR and 20 normal subjects were prospectively studied. • Exclusion criteria for patients with AR were: LVEF ≤50%, significant coronary artery disease, any LV wall motion abnormality, more than mild associated valvular heart disease, non-sinus rhythm. • A comprehensive echocardiography was performed in all subjects. • Basal and apical LV rotation and LV torsion were quantified from 2D greyscale LV parasternal basal and apical short-axis views during end-expiratory breath hold by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) using dedicated software (2D strain, EchoPac). |
