Overview

Enables consistent deformation assessment in LA, RV, and RA; extends prior LV standardization to improve clinical reporting and research comparability.

Key Points

  • Standardize definitions, technical specifications, and measurement techniques for evaluating left atrial, right ventricular, and right atrial myocardial deformation using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.
  • Conducted a joint task force initiative uniting the EACVI, ASE, and ultrasound industry representatives to establish pre-development technical specifications.
  • Defined functional parameters and post-processing software standards for two-dimensional speckle tracking across non-left ventricular cardiac chambers.
  • Established standard terminology, functional metrics, and measurement protocols for 2D speckle tracking of the left atrium, right ventricle, and right atrium.
  • Standardized software specifications across industry developers to minimize vendor-dependent discrepancies and streamline clinical tool development.

This consensus document standardizes the definitions and techniques for 2D speckle tracking echocardiography of the left atrium, right ventricle, and right atrium, facilitating better software development and clinical application.

Cite This Study

Badano et al. (2018) conducted a review in Myocardial deformation assessment. Standardization of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography was evaluated. The EACVI/ASE/Industry Task Force published a consensus document standardizing definitions and techniques for using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography to assess myocardial deformation.
