Altered Left Ventricular Tissue Velocities, Deformation and Twist in Children and Young Adults with Acute Myocarditis and Normal Ejection Fraction

Patients with acute myocarditis and normal LVEFs had detectable left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction on echocardiography. Tissue velocity, deformation, and twist parameters have the potential to improve the detection of patients with myocarditis and preserved LVEFs.
