Observational
Do high frame per second (HFPS) rate settings improve speckle-tracking success rate and deformation values compared to lower frame rates during exercise echocardiography?
High frame per second rate settings during exercise echocardiography improve speckle-tracking reliability and data accuracy, particularly at elevated heart rates.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
HFPS may enhance speckle-tracking reliability during exercise echo; leaves open effects on diagnostic accuracy or outcomes.
This study demonstrates the benefits of high frame per second (HFPS) rate settings in speckle-tracking echocardiography, achieving superior-tracking success and higher deformation values, including longitudinal strain and untwisting velocity, compared with lower frame rates. These advantages, particularly evident at elevated heart rates, highlight the importance of high temporal resolution for accurate cardiac imaging under stress conditions. The findings support prioritizing HFPS in clinical and research settings to improve tracking reliability and data accuracy.

Spahiu et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Cardiac imaging under stress conditions. High frame per second (HFPS) rate settings vs. Lower frame rates was evaluated on Speckle-tracking success rate and deformation values (longitudinal strain and untwisting velocity). High frame per second rate settings in speckle-tracking echocardiography achieved superior tracking success and higher deformation values compared with lower frame rates.
