Is the longitudinal deformation of the left ventricle affected by vitamin D deficiency in nondiabetics? A 2D speckle ‐tracking echocardiographic study

ConclusionsThe global longitudinal subendocardial deformations of the LV, including the systolic strain rate and the systolic and diastolic strain rates, as evaluated with 2D speckle ‐tracking echocardiography were not statistically significantly correlated with the presence or absence of vitamin D deficiency.
