Left ventricular strain and peak systolic velocity: responses to controlled changes in load and contractility, explored in a porcine model

BACKGROUND: Tissue velocity echocardiography is increasingly used to evaluate global and regional cardiac function. Previous studies have suggested that the quantitative measurements obtained during ejection are reliable indices of contractility, though their load-sensitivity has been studied in dif...
