Conditions
Interventions
Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography (2D-STE)
2D speckle-tracking echocardiography was used to assess left ventricular myocardial deformation. Standard apical four-, two-, and three-chamber views were acquired with optimized frame rates.
Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography (3D-STE)
Three-dimensional datasets were acquired from apical full-volume images, ensuring optimal electrocardiographic gating, adequate frame rates, and high-quality image acquisition.
