Two-dimensional speckle tracking of the ascending aorta: a novel approach to evaluate arterial stiffness in pediatric patients with repaired conotruncal anomalies using echocardiography
AAo GCS using 2D STE is highly feasible and reproducible as well as provides novel insights into the aortic deformation mechanics in pediatric patients with repaired CTA, thus holds promise in longitudinal assessment and risk stratification of aortopathy-associated congenital heart disease patients.
