Two-dimensional speckle tracking of the ascending aorta: a novel approach to evaluate arterial stiffness in pediatric patients with repaired conotruncal anomalies using echocardiography

Two-dimensional speckle tracking of the ascending aorta: a novel approach to evaluate arterial stiffness in pediatric patients with repaired conotruncal anomalies using echocardiography

BackgroundChildren with repaired conotruncal abnormalities (CTA) are at risk of progressive aortic dilation and deteriorating aortic elasticity even after surgical correction. Strain imaging, using a 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), has been used for arterial stiffness asses...
