Left ventricular long-axis changes in early diastole and systole: impact of systolic function on diastole.

Impaired long-axis motion is a sensitive marker of systolic myocardial dysfunction, but no data are available that relate long-axis changes in systole with those in diastole, particularly in subjec ...
