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

assessment of left atrial function after percutaneous coronary intervention: a doppler-based strain and strain rate study

conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

Left ventricular size determines tissue Doppler-derived longitudinal strain and strain rate.

AIMS Tissue Doppler-derived indices of strain (epsilon) and strain rate (SR) have been developed to assess regional cardiac function. However, the effect of left ventricular (LV) size on epsilon and SR has not been studied in depth. The aim of this study was to assess to what extent heart size influence epsilon or SR. METHODS AND RESULTS In 21 anaesthetized pigs ranging from 12.5 to 70.0 kg, ...

Right ventricular involvement in anterior myocardial infarction: a tissue Doppler-derived strain and strain rate study

OBJECTIVE Strain and strain rate imaging is currently the most popular echocardiographic technique that reveals subclinical myocardial damage. There are currently no available data on this imaging method with regard to assessing right ventricular involvement in anterior myocardial infarction. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate right ventricular regional functions using a derived strain and strain ...
