New Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography Identifies Global Impairment of Left Ventricular Mechanics with a High Sensitivity in Childhood Cancer Survivors

Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography enables the derivation of an index of LV global performance that incorporates LV 3D strain, dyssynchrony, and torsion for the sensitive detection of altered LV mechanics in childhood cancer survivors.
