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.

Assessment of Dyssynchronous Wall Motion During Acute Myocardial Ischemia Using Velocity Vector Imaging

TL;DR: The assessment of VVI at MVO permits easy detection of dyssynchronous wall motion during acute myocardial ischemia that cannot be diagnosed by conventional measurement of systolic wall thickness and suggests the size of the risk area.

Early predictors of cardiac decompensation in experimental volume overload.

TL;DR: While early morphologic responses of LV walls to ACF correlated well with strain-dependent differences in late mortality, other functional changes showed no predictive effects, and close monitoring of early changes in cardiac geometry might be helpful to further improve risk stratification in humans with volume overload cardiopathies.

Non-invasive assessment of the haemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis using fusion of cardiac computed tomography and 3D echocardiography

TL;DR: In this feasibility study, resting strain showed good agreement with stress perfusion, indicating that it may be potentially used to assess haemodynamic impact of coronary stenosis, as an alternative to stress testing that entails additional radiation exposure.

Postsystolic thickening detected by Doppler myocardial imaging: a marker of viability or ischemia in patients with myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: This work has shown that postsystolic thickening of ischemic myocardial segments has been reported to account for the characteristic heterogeneity or regional asynchrony of myocardIAL wall motion during acute ischemia, but the mechanism behind this change is still unclear.

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.

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.

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.
