Effect of pericardial incision on left ventricular morphology and systolic function in patients during coronary artery bypass grafting.

Pericardial incision immediately transformed LV morphology from an ellipsoid to sphere, with decreased longitudinal and circumferential strain and twist, and increased radial strain, while LVEF remained unchanged. This should be considered when evaluating LV systolic function in patients after CABG.
