Abstract

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with the automated function imaging method (AFI) based on speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in obstructive sleep apnea patients (USA) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and without any confounding disease that can cause myocardial dysfunction.
