Abstract:
Objectives To assess the left ventricle regional systolic and diastolic function,left ventricle geometry and left venticle sphericity indexes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) by quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI).Methods Thirty normal subjects and 52 DCM patients underwent QTVI and colour Doppler flow imaging study in order to measure the left ventricular regional function along left ventricle apical long-axis view and the left ventricle geometry.Peak tissue velocities of left venticle r...
