GW25-e5308 Assessment of Adriamycin-Induced Cardiomyopathy by Strain and Strain Rate Imaging

myocardial strain and strain rate imaging: comparison between doppler derived strain imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography

Recent advances in echocardiography: strain and strain rate imaging

Deformation imaging by echocardiography is a well-established research tool which has been gaining interest from clinical cardiologists since the introduction of speckle tracking. Post-processing of echo images to analyze deformation has become readily available at the fingertips of the user. New parameters such as global longitudinal strain have been shown to provide added diagnostic value, an...

assessment of right ventricular function by tissue doppler, strain and strain rate imaging in patients with left-sided valvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension

background pulmonary artery hypertension is the presentation of various types of cardiovascular and systematic diseases. there are different kinds of noninvasive methods to determine right ventricular function, pulmonary artery pressure, and effect of pulmonary hypertension on right ventricular function. these methods include the tissue doppler imaging (tdi) of the tricuspid annulus and the lon...

Exercise-induced strain and strain rate in the distal radius.

Strains applied to bone can stimulate its development and adaptation. High strains and rates of strain are thought to be osteogenic, but the specific dose response relationship is not known. In vivo human strain measurements have been performed in the tibia to try to identify optimal bone strengthening exercises for this bone, but no measurements have been performed in the distal radial metaphy...

Quantification of Regional Myocardial Function following Acute Myocardial Infarction by Ultrasonic Strain Rate and Strain Imaging

Objectives: The rapid diagnosis and early risk stratification of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is important. In experimental setting ultrasonic strain rate (SR) and strain (S) have been shown to identify changes in deformation predictive of ischemia. We sought to evaluate and compare regional myocardial function at “the risk zone” (ARZ) supplied by the culprit coron...
