Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Identifies Selective Regional Pattern of Strain Abnormalities and Propensity for Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Non Ischaemic Cardiomyopathy

Background: Speckle tracking strain echocardiography (STE), namely alterations in left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and mechanical dispersion (MD), may identify patients with a predilection for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in non ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
