Why the study?
Does shear wave elastography detect exercise-induced peripheral muscle perfusion deficits in patients with congestive heart failure?

Shear wave elastography is a promising non-invasive ultrasound method to quantify exercise-induced muscle perfusion deficits and monitor exercise capacity in patients with heart failure.
Another field of interest in the use of shear wave elastography is the differentiation of malignant and benign breast lesions. In their prospective study of 119 women with a single breast mass Hari et al. obtained elasticity values for 57 benign and 62 malignant lesions. Benign breast masses were characterised by lower elasticity values with a mean of 47.9 kPa 44 compared to

A 2021 study conducted a review in Congestive Heart Failure (n=45). Congestive heart failure vs. Healthy participants was evaluated on Gastrocnemius muscle elasticity (shear modulus) during active stretch (OR 0.859, p=< 0.05).
