Prognostic value of tissue-tracking mitral annular displacement by speckle-tracking echocardiography in asymptomatic aortic stenosis patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction

ConclusionsThe present study suggests that TMAD easily and rapidly estimated by speckle-tracking echocardiography may be used as a simple method to predict occurrence of the cardiac events in asymptomatic severe AS patients with preserved LVEF.
