Key result
Speckle tracking echocardiography enables early detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and subclinical myocardial fibrosis, offering greater sensitivity than traditional ejection fraction.
Speckle tracking echocardiography provides a sensitive, non-invasive method for early detection of myocardial dysfunction and fibrosis before traditional volumetric parameters like ejection fraction become abnormal.
Despite the undoubted success in the diagnosis of heart failure using echocardiography, the issue of detecting diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle of the heart in the early stages remains insufficiently studied. The article describes a non-invasive ultrasound method for evaluating myocardial function, which allows early detection of left ventricle diastolic dysfunction due to myocardial fibrosis.

Гриценко et al. (2021) conducted a review in Myocardial dysfunction and heart failure. Speckle tracking echocardiography vs. Conventional echocardiography (ejection fraction) was evaluated. Speckle tracking echocardiography enables early detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and subclinical myocardial fibrosis, offering greater sensitivity than traditional ejection fraction.
