DOI: 10.11648/j.ccr.20200403.19
Abstract: Background: Hypertension and diabetes are major contributors to structural changes including myocardial fibrosis and progressive alteration of LV systolic and diastolic functions. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is a reliable imaging modality that overcomes the limitations… read more here.
