Three-Dimensional Strain for Left Ventricular Function Assessment in Children After Successful Ventricular Septal Defect Repair

Background

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) has a good prognosis after surgical treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) strain echocardiography is a novel method adapting AI for assessing ventricular function; however, its utility remains to be tested. The aim of the study was to assess accuracy of 3D strain echocardiography based on a specific population of patients.
