Strain and strain rate - novel technique for quantification of regional myocardial function
https://doi.org/10.18705/1607-419X-2010--2-
Abstract
Recent developments in the tissue deformation imaging have allowed the cardiologist to objectively quantify regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (strain) and deformation rate (strain rate) can be calculated non-invasively in both the left and right ventricle, providing information on regional function in a variety of clinical settings. Although this promising novel technique is increasingly applied in clinical and preclinical research, knowledge about the principles, limitations and technical issues of this technique is mandatory for reliable results and for implementation both in the clinical as well as the scientific field.
