May aid objective dyssynchrony assessment in practice; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Speckle tracking echocardiography provides an angle-independent method for assessing regional strain and cardiac dyssynchrony, overcoming limitations of traditional tissue Doppler imaging.
Tetsuya Kawagishi (2008) conducted a review in Cardiac dyssynchrony. Speckle tracking echocardiography vs. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was evaluated. Speckle tracking echocardiography provides assessment of regional strain and dyssynchrony in cardiac motion for more objective diagnosis, overcoming the angle-dependence of tissue Doppler imaging.
