Speckle-Tracking Imaging to Monitor Myocardial Function After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Conclusions—
Based on the results of our study in all age groups, speckle-tracking imaging parameters are more effective than the LVEF, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, and stroke volume for monitoring improvement in myocardial function after CABG surgery.
