Key result
New echocardiographic techniques, including tissue Doppler, speckle tracking, and 3D echocardiography, enable improved objective quantification and assessment of left ventricular myocardial function.
Why the study?
Do new echocardiographic techniques improve the assessment of left ventricular myocardial function in patients with cardiovascular diseases?
Do new echocardiographic techniques improve the assessment of left ventricular myocardial function in patients with cardiovascular diseases?
Advanced echocardiographic techniques such as tissue Doppler, speckle tracking, contrast-enhanced, and 3D echocardiography enhance the objective quantification and assessment of left ventricular function compared to standard 2D echocardiography.

May aid objective LV function assessment in practice; leaves open prospective outcome validation in cardiovascular disease.
Marcucci et al. (2008) conducted a review in Cardiovascular diseases. New echocardiographic techniques (Tissue Doppler, speckle tracking, contrast-enhanced, and 3D echocardiography) was evaluated. New echocardiographic techniques, including tissue Doppler, speckle tracking, and 3D echocardiography, enable improved objective quantification and assessment of left ventricular myocardial function.
