May aid precise LV mechanics evaluation; leaves open outcome-based validation before widespread adoption.
3D speckle tracking echocardiography is an emerging ultrasound technology that improves the assessment of left ventricular mechanics and has broad clinical applications.
Sorrentino et al. (2016) conducted a review in Cardiac deformation. Three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D STE) vs. Two-dimensional echocardiography was evaluated. Three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography provides improved reproducibility and accuracy for quantifying global and regional myocardial deformation compared to two-dimensional echocardiography.
