Assessment of subtle cardiac dysfunction in patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes by real ‐time three‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

ConclusionsIn patients with frequent PVCs and normal LVEF, 3D ‐STE revealed lower global and regional strain values than in healthy controls. RT3D‐STE is a novel, feasible and reproducible method to assess cardiac function and appears suitable to detect subtle left ventricular dysfunction.
