Left ventricular rotational mechanics and left ventricular volumes: is there a relationship in healthy adults?-three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived insights from the MAGYAR-Healthy Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics play a crucial role in LV pump function by strengthening and improving its efficacy. Dependence of LV rotational parameters on left atrial volumes has already been demonstrated. The evaluation of the effect of LV rotational mechanics on LV volumes was purposed in a population of healthy subjects by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE).

Methods

The study comprised 175 healthy subjects with a mean age of 32.8±12.2 years (79 males). All subjects underwent a complete physical examination, laboratory assessments, standard 12-lead electrocardiography and two-dimensional Doppler and three-dimensional STE, the results of these examinations were within the normal range.

Results

Increased basal LV rotati
