Left ventricular remodelling among Turner syndrome patients: insights from non-invasive 3D echocardiography-derived pressure –volume loop analysis

Conclusions3DSTE and non-invasive left ventricular PVL analysis might be useful tools to detect early cardiac changes in TS. Arterial elastance seems to be significantly increased in TS patients, independent of cardiovascular morbidity. Compared with normal weight TS patients, overweight/obese TS patients displayed lower left ventricular efficiency.
