Left ventricular twist is load-dependent as shown in a large animal model with controlled cardiac load
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular rotation and twist can be assessed noninvasively by speckle tracking echocardiography. We sought to characterize the effects of acute load change and change in inotropic state on rotation parameters as a measure of left ventricular (LV) contractility. METHODS: Seven anes...
