The influence of accessory pathway localization on left ventricular mechanics in adult patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: a speckle-tracking echocardiographic investigation
Background Ventricular pre-excitation can cause left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony and dysfunction. However, the specific impact of accessory pathway (AP) location on LV mechanics remains incompletely characterized. This study utilized two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) to quantify an...
