Application of speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) provides rapid assessment of tissue‐tracking mitral annular displacement (TMAD). We investigated the value of TMAD for the assessment of decreased LV longitudinal deformation in asymptomatic patients with severe or moderate‐to‐severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF).
