Strain ST-T changes on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) may reflect subendocardial dysfunction. We hypothesized that strain ST-T changes are associated with (i) decrease in longitudinal strain, (ii) decrease in early systolic clockwise twist and early diastolic untwisting, and (iii) augmentation of peak twist due to subendocardial dysfunction.
