Effects of Antegrade Versus Integrated Blood Cardioplegia on Left Ventricular Function Evaluated by Echocardiographic Real-Time 3-Dimensional Speckle Tracking
The objective of this study was to evaluate left ventricular free wall and interventricular septal function by 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and live/real-time 3-dimensional transthoracic speckle tracking echocardiography before and after on-pump cardiac surgery and to assess the effect of mode of cardioplegia delivery.
