conclusions lv twist, torsion and untwist and also rate of them are significantly impaired in dcm and this impairment is well-related to lv global systolic and diastolic dysfunction. vvi is a new noninvasive technique that can be used to evaluate lv torsional parameters. results lv twist value (5.54 ± 1.94° in dcm vs. 11.5 ± 2.45° in control group) and also lv torsion (0.71 ± 0.28°/cm in dcm vs...

ABSTRACT The cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is described as a multi-organ disease encompassing bidirectionally heart and kidney. In CRS type 4, chronic kidney (CKD) leads to cardiac injury.
