Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Pediatric Patients with Premature Ventricular Contractions

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in pediatric patients without structural heart disease and normal left ventricular systolic function rarely require therapy, though it is unknown whether these patients have subclinical cardiac dysfunction. Speckle tracking echocardiography is an additional...

Zusammenfassung:	Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in pediatric patients without structural heart disease and normal left ventricular systolic function rarely require therapy, though it is unknown whether these patients have subclinical cardiac dysfunction. Speckle tracking echocardiography is an additional means of evaluating cardiac function in asymptomatic pediatric PVC patients with normal standard measures of left ventricular (LV) function. Asymptomatic pediatric patients (
