Abstract:Because of its excellent ability to non-invasively assess left ventricular (LV) systolic function, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is increasingly being used in echocardiographic laboratories worldwide. Two-dimensional STE is the most sought-after method to evaluate LV strain, rotation, twist and torsion. Two dimensional, three-dimensional and four-dimensional (4D) deformation estimation by STE has several intrinsic limitations. For better appraisal of LV contractile properties, a recen… Show more
