Strain and strain rate (SR) are measures of deformation that are basic descriptors of both the
nature and the function of cardiac tissue. These properties may now be measured using …

Strain and strain rate echocardiography is an emerging technique for assessing myocardial
systolic and diastolic function. It is envisioned that this modality could change the …

Echocardiographic strain imaging, also known as deformation imaging, has been developed
as a means to objectively quantify regional myocardial function. First introduced as post …

Myocardial strain is a measure of tissue deformation and strain rate is the rate at which
deformation occurs. When applied to the heart, strain and strain rate give fundamental …

The advent of strain and strain rate imaging in clinical echocardiography prompted an
examination of proper techniques for image acquisition and analysis. For this promising and …

The echocardiographic assessment of regional myocardial function plays a critical role in
the diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease and in most laboratories relies on …

Echocardiographic strain and strain rate imaging is a new technology enabling more
reliable and comprehensive assessment of myocardial function. The spectrum of potential …

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated 3 new automated methods, based on a combination
of speckle tracking and tissue Doppler, for the analysis of strain rate (SR) and strain …

Tissue Doppler (TDE), strain, and strain rate echocardiography are emerging real time
ultrasound techniques that provide a measure of wall motion. They offer an objective means …

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 …
