Assessment of Speckle Tracking Strain Predictive Value for Myocardial Fibrosis in Chagas Disease
One of the most challenging issues of chronic Chagas disease is to provide earlier detection of heart involvement. Two-dimensional speckle tracking (2-D ST) echocardiography, a new imaging modality with useful applications in…
