The influence of acute unloading on left ventricular strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography in a porcine model

Dahle, Geir Olav; Stangeland, Lodve; Moen, Christian Arvei; Salminen, Pirjo-Riitta; Haavestad, Rune; Matre, Knut; Grong, Ketil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)

Noninvasive measurements of myocardial strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography correlate to cardiac contractile state but also to load, which may weaken their value as indices of inotropy. In a porcine ...
