Advances in speckle-tracking echocardiography allowed the rise of deformation imaging as
a feasible, robust, and valuable tool for clinical routine. The global or segmental …

Background Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes, but
traditional measurements of systolic function such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) …

Myocardial strain imaging by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a
powerful method to diagnose cardiac disease. Strain imaging provides measures of …

Heart failure (HF) is an extremely major health problem with gradually increasing incidence
in developed and develo** countries. HF may lead to cardiac remodeling; thus, advanced …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain measurements using
transthoracic 3D echocardiography speckle tracking analysis have several advantages over …

Aims Left atrial (LA) strain is a prognostic biomarker with utility across a spectrum of acute
and chronic cardiovascular pathologies. There are limited data on intervendor differences …

Aims Foreshortening of apical views is a common problem in echocardiography. It results in
an abnormally thick false apex and a shortened left ventricular (LV) long axis. We sought to …

Aims To obtain the normal range for 2D echocardiographic (2DE) measurements of left
ventricular (LV) layer-specific strain from a large group of healthy volunteers of both genders …
