Evaluation of Global and Regional Strain in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome without Previous Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Background: Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) is a new non-invasive method, which has been recently used as an alternative technique to assess regional and global myocardial function, especially left ventricular function. It is also considered to be a valid technique to evaluate the patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
