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...

Strain and Strain Rate Imaging by Echocardiography – Basic Concepts and Clinical Applicability

Echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging (deformation imaging) is a new non-invasive method for assessment of myocardial function. Due to its ability to differentiate between active and passive movement of myocardial segments, to quantify intraventricular dyssynchrony and to evaluate components of myocardial function, such as longitudinal myocardial shortening, that are not visually ass...
