Abstract:

Change in fibers orientation because of myocardial remodeling can result not only in longitudinal contraction decrease but also in myocardial radial and circular systolic twist change during heart cycle [Popescu B.A. et al, 2009]. This is one of several signs of congestive heart failure (CHF). Myocardial deformity disorder is more severe in patients with CHF of III-IV functional classes [Mondillo S. et al, 2011].
