Abstract
Three-dimensional STE showed overall LV and RV strain improvement after clip implantation as well as lower postprocedural LV strain values in patients with worse preexisting RV function. These findings could help in guiding MR treatment strategies, suggesting different therapies in the presence of marked RV impairment or anticipating the procedure in case of evolving RV dysfunction.
