TLDR
The new SDE approach might be a more accurate marker than TDE for detecting systolic regional myocardial dysfunction induced by LAD occlusion and reduced velocities in all septal segments during angioplasty.

Early impairment of left ventricular function in patients with systemic hypertension: New insights with 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

TL;DR: Characterizing the disparities in LV principal strains reveals the presence of subclinical LV dysfunction and provides unique insights into functional adaptations that maintain global LV ejection fraction in patients with systemic hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue doppler imaging predicts recovery of left ventricular function after recanalization of an occluded coronary artery.

TL;DR: Assessment of +VIC by pulsed-wave TDI is a simple and accurate method that predicts recovery of contractile function after revascularization in patients with a recent myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strain rate imaging after dynamic stress provides objective evidence of persistent regional myocardial dysfunction in ischaemic myocardium: regional stunning identified?

TL;DR: Myocardial strain shows regional post-ischaemic dysfunction in systole and diastole and may become a useful diagnostic tool in patients presenting with chest pain with a normal ECG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocardial Strain Decreases with Increasing Transmurality of Infarction: A Doppler Echocardiographic and Magnetic Resonance Correlation Study

TL;DR: In patients with chronic myocardial infarctions, strain measurements with echocardiography show a graded response of decreasing regional strain in segments with increasing transmural extent of infarction defined by Gd hyperenhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue Doppler and strain imaging: anything left in the echo-lab?

TL;DR: This review critically evaluated tissue Doppler and strain/strain rate imaging techniques, analysing their physical principles, the technical problems related to their current clinical application, and the future perspectives.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.

TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

Myocardial Strain by Doppler Echocardiography Validation of a New Method to Quantify Regional Myocardial Function

TL;DR: Myocardial strain by Doppler echocardiography may represent a new, powerful method for quantifying regional myocardial function and is less influenced by tethering effects than Dopplers tissue imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time strain rate imaging of the left ventricle by ultrasound

TL;DR: In the healthy hearts, a spatially homogeneous distribution of the strain rate was found and all the infarcted areas in this study showed up as hypokinetic or akinetic, demonstrating that this method may be used for imaging of regional dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Color Doppler myocardial imaging: a new technique for the assessment of myocardial function

TL;DR: The concomitant enhancement of the myocardial Doppler signal after an intravenous injection of a transpulmonary echocardiographic contrast agent could permit the noninvasive assessment of regional myocardIAL perfusion.
