title: A simple and accurate method to identify early ventricular contraction sites in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome using high frame-rate tissue-velocity imaging.
abstract: The high frame-rate tissue-velocity imaging method may be superior to the conventional M-mode method in accurately localizing accessory pathways without consuming large amounts of time.
