A novel approach to standard techniques in the assessment and quantification of the interventricular systolic relationship.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We investigated longitudinal right ventricular (RV) function assessed using speckle-tracking strain echocardiography in patient with myocardial infarction (MI), and identified the contributing factors for RV dysfunction. METHODS:We retrospectively studied 71 patients with old MI (the OMI group) and 45 norma...
