Current and evolving echocardiographic techniques for the quantitative evaluation of cardiac mechanics: ASE/EAE consensus statement on methodology and indications endorsed by the Japanese Society of Echocardiography. (2011, background): “With DTI, peak amplitudes of velocity and strain variables are influenced by the angle of the incident beam with the myocardial wall and depend on image quality and is frequently difficult to use in apical segments.(68) For both STE-based and DTI-based strain imaging, considerable expertise is neede”
Recommendations for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography. (2008, neutral): “Speckle tracking can be suboptimal at the LV base, thus introducing significant variability in the measurements.(128)”
Myocardial strain imaging: how useful is it in clinical decision making? (2015, methodology): “In principle, strain imaging is an excellent modality for evaluation of diastolic function in terms of early-diastolic strain rate which reflects myocardial lengthening rate and untwisting rate which is tightly coupled to restoring forces and diastolic suction.(55) – 58 Due to significant signal noi”
