Kinetics of Left Ventricular Strains and Torsion During Incremental Exercise in Healthy Subjects: The Key Role of Torsional Mechanics for Systolic-Diastolic Coupling
The dynamics of systolic and diastolic strains and torsional mechanics of the left ventricle (LV) and their relation to diastolic filling never have been evaluated at various exercise intensities. Speckle tracking echocardiography was performed in 20 healthy sedentary subjects at rest and during a p...

Zusammenfassung: | The dynamics of systolic and diastolic strains and torsional mechanics of the left ventricle (LV) and their relation to diastolic filling never have been evaluated at various exercise intensities.
Speckle tracking echocardiography was performed in 20 healthy sedentary subjects at rest and during a progressive submaximal exercise test at 20%, 30%, and 40% of maximal aerobic power. LV twist increased progressively with exercise intensity (10.5 ± 3.2 to 15.8 ± 4.5°; P |
