TLDR
This multicenter study of nearly 250 volunteers without evidence of cardiovascular disease showed an average LV peak systolic strain of -18.6 +/- 0.1% and there was significant segmental variation of regional strain to necessitate the use of site-specific normal ranges.
Abstract
The interpretation of wall motion is an important component of echocardiography but remains a source of variation between observers. It has been believed that automated quantification of left ventricular (LV) systolic function by measurement of LV systolic strain from speckle-tracking echocardiography might be helpful. This multicenter study of nearly 250 volunteers without evidence of cardiovascular disease showed an average LV peak systolic strain of −18.6 ± 0.1%. Although strain was influenced by weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, these features accounted for only 16% of variance. However, there was significant segmental variation of regional strain to necessitate the use of site-specific normal ranges.

Atrioventricular and Ventricular Functional Interdependence in Individuals Without Overt Cardiac Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the atrioventricular and ventricular functional interdependence in a community-based cohort without overt cardiovascular disease and hypothesized that subclinical left ventricular dysfunction adversely affects LA/RV geometry and function even in a preclinical setting.

Echocardiographic features in antiphospholipid-negative Sneddon’s syndrome and potential association with severity of neurological symptoms or recurrence of strokes: a longitudinal cohort study

TL;DR: No change in neurological relapse was observed in patients presenting LS endocarditis occurrence during follow-up without any modification in antithrombotic treatment, and further research is necessary to assess the usefulness of treatment escalation in these patients.

Incremental Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

TL;DR: In this paper , a study was conducted to determine whether left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) has prognostic value in patients with severe aortic stenosis and preserved LVEF undergoing Transcatheter Aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Left atrial longitudinal speckle tracking echocardiography in healthy aging heart

TL;DR: 2D-LASTE appears to be a reliable tool to evaluate the role of LA to compensate the derangement of left ventricle happening with ageing and confirmed that LA conduit function deteriorates with age while booster pump increases respect to adult controls and reservoir phase is maintained.

Two-dimensional strain-a novel software for real-time quantitative echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the feasibility of 2D strain, a software for real-time quantitative echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function, which is based on the estimation that a discrete set of tissue velocities are present per each of many small elements on the ultrasound image.

Quantitative assessment of intrinsic regional myocardial deformation by Doppler strain rate echocardiography in humans. Validation against three-dimensional tagged magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates the ability of Doppler echocardiography to measure myocardial strains in a clinical setting and may represent a new powerful method for quantifying left ventricular function noninvasively in humans.

Can natural strain and strain rate quantify regional myocardial deformation? A study in healthy subjects

TL;DR: SR/epsilon imaging appears to be a robust technique for quantifying regional myocardial deformation, and values describing radial deformation were higher than the corresponding SR/ep silon values obtained for longitudinal deformation.

Noninvasive quantification of regional myocardial function using Doppler-derived velocity, displacement, strain rate, and strain in healthy volunteers: effects of aging

TL;DR: Although myocardial velocities and strain rate showed significant dependence on age, displacement and peak systolic strain measures were less affected, and Doppler tissue echocardiography measurements showed a strong dependence on wall segment position.
