TEE was performed by the same experienced echocardiographer in all patients using Vivid 9 echocardiograph (GE Healthcare, USA) with a transesophageal probe. All patients had an intravenous access secured. The topical pharyngeal anesthesia (lidocaine spray) was administered at the beginning of the procedure. Sedative drugs were administered if necessary (intravenous (IV) midazolam: initial 1 mg iv bolus, with additional 1 mg iv doses repeated as needed), depending on the course of the procedure (at the physician’s discretion). During TEE, patient’s ECG and peripheral O2 saturation were continuously monitored. The blood pressure measurement was taken every 5 min. TEE was carried out according to the current guidelines (1 (link)).

Three standard apical views (4-, 2-and 3-chamber) were acquired using Vivid 9 echocardiograph (GE Medical Systems Inc.). The images were transferred to EchoPac workstation (GE Medical Systems Inc.) for quantitative analysis using Automated Function Imaging package based on speckle tracking algorithm. Bull's-eye maps representing peak systolic longitudinal strain in 17 LV segments were generated for each patient. Patients with quality of echocardiographic images precluding speckle tracking analysis of all LV segments were excluded from the study.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
