Left ventricular Twist, Torsion are moderately correlated with longitudinal axial tension measured on 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography (Twist r = - 0.48; Torsion r = - 0.51; with p<0.05), with Dd (Twist r = - 0.43; Torsion r = - 0.49 with p<0.05), with EDV (Twist r = - 0.44; Torsion r = - 0.49 with p<0.05), with FS (Twist r = 0.52; Torsion r = 0.57 with p<0.05).
