Myocardial deformation imaging (myocardial strain)
Myocardial deformation imaging is evolving into a clinical tool for the assessment and risk evaluation of patients with heart failure.
Abstract
The evolution of myocardial deformation imaging from research tool to clinical practice will provide clinicians with a useful additional imaging parameter to facilitate the assessment and risk evaluation of patients with HF.
