Novel regional longitudinal strain by speckle tracking to detect significant coronary artery disease in patients admitted to the emergency department for chest pain suggestive of acute coronary syndrome

ConclusionDecreased myocardial function in four adjacent LV segments assessed by strain has the potential to detect significant CAD in patients admitted with chest pain and negative/slightly elevated initial troponin.Trial registration: Current Research information system in Norway (CRISTIN).
