Assessment of Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Strain in Patients with Left Anterior Descending Coronary Stenosis Using Computed Tomography Feature Tracking
Abstract:Background: Computed tomography feature tracking (CT-FT) has emerged as a valuable method for the assessment of cardiac function. However, no studies have investigated the usefulness of CT-derived assessments of left ventricular (LV) strain in coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim was to evaluate regional LV systolic deformation in patients with left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) stenosis using CT-FT.Methods: Seventy-six patients with LAD stenosis were enrolled. The patients were divided into four… Show more
