Evaluation of left ventricular systolic synchrony by peak strain dispersion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Xiang JiXia ZhangHuijun FengPublished in: The Journal of international medical research (2021)
LV systolic synchrony in patients with RA gradually decreases as the disease course progresses. The PSD can be used as a new reliable index to evaluate LV systolic synchrony.
