Assessment of Left Ventricular Function using a Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Asymptomatic Survivors of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in Long-Term Follow-Up

Introduction:Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is sensitive in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function and may aid in diagnosis of late cardiac effects in asymptomatic Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) survivors in long-term follow-up.Methods:This is a cross-sectiona...
