M-mode apical systolic excursion: A new and simple method to evaluate global left ventricular longitudinal strain. Rev Port Cardiol. 2015 Sep;34(9):551-4. doi: 10.1016/j.repc.2015.03.0110870-25512632074610.1016/j.repc.2015.03.011https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/133629Introduction: Since M-mode measurements can assess deformation of specific regions of the left ventricle, we hypothesized that M-mode measurements like M-mode apical systolic excursion (MMASE) and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) may be correlated with left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVLS). Methods: All subjects of the study underwent a full echocardiographic evaluation and MMASE and MAPSE measurement. Three-dimensional wall motion tracking (3D-WMT) was performed. Results: Thirty-one patients were evaluated. Significant correlations between MAPSE and LVLS (-0.372; p=0.04) and between MMASE and LVLS (-0.398; p=0.027) were found. LVLS was linearly related to MAPSE and MMASE (in mm) as follows: ST=-10.6 -0.4 * MAPSE (r2=0.14) and ST=-13.1 -0.5 * MMASE (r2=0.16). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that simpler and faster methods than strain based on complex speckle analysis can also have a role in predicting subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction.engjournal article2174-2030https://doi.org/ 10.1016/j.repc.2015.03.01126320746https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0870255115001869https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26320746/restricted access616.123D wall motion trackingEcocardiograma Modo-MLongitudinal strainM-mode echocardiographyStrain longitudinalCardiología3205.01 Cardiología
