Abstract
- The aim of this study was to determine the left ventricular myocardial deformation and segmental myocardial dysfunction by speckle tracking echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging among the operated patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. The study was conducted on 12 patients diagnosed with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, who had been operated upon between 2001 and 2013 at the medical centres of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgical correction was 12.6 years ranging from 6 months to 43 years, and the duration of postoperative follow-up was between 1 and 12 years. Comparison of the strain rate between the patients with acceptable ejection fraction and the control group by tissue Doppler imaging showed significant differences between the two groups regarding the lateral wall (p
