Abstract:
Bridge to recovery is a possibility for patients receiving mechanical circulatory support. However, no reliable factors exist to predict a sustained myocardial recovery. We report the use of a new technique of Doppler tissue imaging to document myocardial recovery in two cases with promising results.
