Rigid body rotation of the left ventricle in hidradenitis suppurativa (a case from the three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiographic MAGYAR-Path Study)

In healthy subject, the left ventricular (LV) apex rotates in counterclockwise direction, while the LV base shows a clockwise rotation resulting in a towel-wringing-like motion called LV twist (1). However, this is a very sensitive motion, which could be altered early by several pathological states.
