Speckle tracking (STE) is a novel echocardiographic technique which permits calculation of myocardial velocities and deformation parameters such as strain and strain rate (SR). It is demonstratedthat these parameters provide important insights into systolic and diastolic function, ischaemia, myocardial mechanics and many other pathophysiological processes of the heart.

Abstract
Speckle tracking (STE) is a novel echocardiographic technique which permits calculation of myocardial velocities and deformation parameters such as strain and strain rate (SR). It is demonstratedthat these parameters provide important insights into systolic and diastolic function, ischaemia, myocardial mechanics and many other pathophysiological processes of the heart.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
