Abstract：Objective The aim of this study was to assess the change left ventricular function in post-menopause women by using
two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods A total of 41 post-menopause women were included, and the control
group included 46 age-matched premenopause women. Conventional echocardiography and two-dimensional speckle-tracking
echocardiography (2D-STE) were performed and the left ventricular enddiastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic
volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLS), global
circumferential peak systolic strain (GCS), and global radial peak systolic strain (GRS) were measured. Results LVEDV, LVESV,
LVEF, GRS and GCS were similar between post-menopause women and pre-menopause women (P>0.05). GLS was significantly
reduced in post-menopause women compared to pre-menopause women (P<0.05). Conclusion In menopause women, 2D-STE
reveals lower longitudinal strain values than non-menopause women. 2D-STE is a feasible method to assess cardiac function and
appears suitable to detect subtle left ventricular dysfunction.
