Why the study?
Does speckle tracking imaging (STI) accurately reflect LV function and fibrosis in a rat model of chronic myocardial infarction?

p-value: p=<0.001
Assessment of LV twist and untwist rate by speckle tracking imaging is feasible in small animals and correlates with progressive LV impairment and myocardial fibrosis in chronic MI.
