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.read more

TL;DR: Using LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), an emerging sensitive parameter of LV function, the prevalence of subclinical cardiac dysfunction in sarcoidosis is evaluated and whether LVGLS predicts adverse outcomes in this population is investigated.

Ultrasonographic strain imaging is superior to conventional non-invasive measures of vascular stiffness in the detection of age-dependent differences in the mechanical properties of the common carotid artery.
TL;DR: Ulasonographic 2D-strain imaging is a sensitive method for the assessment of elastic properties in the CCA, being in this respect superior to the conventional measures of vascular stiffness and has potential to become a valuable non-invasive tool in the detection of early atherosclerotic vascular changes.

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.

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.

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.
