Why the study?
Does feature tracking provide consistent longitudinal peak strain values compared to Tissue Doppler Imaging in the basal segments of athletes' ventricles?
Does feature tracking provide consistent longitudinal peak strain values compared to Tissue Doppler Imaging in the basal segments of athletes' ventricles?
Feature tracking and Tissue Doppler Imaging can be used interchangeably to evaluate longitudinal peak strain in the basal segments of athletes' ventricles when image quality is good.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support interchangeable basal strain assessment in athletes with good images; leaves open prospective validation before wider adoption.
