3.3. 2D-Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Global longitudinal strain values based on all three apical views (A4C, A2C, A3C) and total global strain values ​​did not appear to be different between the patient and the control group (p=0.59, p=0.51, p=0.15, p=0.38; Table 2). LV longitudinal myocardial strain measurements indicated the following reductions in the following parameters: A2C basal inferior and basal anterior, and A3C mid inferolateral. Circumferential strain rate measurements were not different between the patient and the control group (p = 0.68). However, there were significant differences between the normotensive CoA subgroup and hypertensive CoA subgroup, with respect to 2D-STE longitudinal myocar­dial deformation properties in some seg­ments of the LV walls (p < .05; Table 3).
