Strain and strain rate imaging are valuable non-invasive echocardiographic tools for the early detection of myocardial dysfunction, therapeutic decision-making, and prognostic evaluation.
Dandel et al. (2009) conducted a review in Myocardial dysfunction. Echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging was evaluated. Echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging provides a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for early detection of myocardial dysfunction, therapeutic decision-making, and prognostic evaluation.
