Velocity Vector Imaging: Standard Tissue-Tracking Results Acquired in Normals—The VVI-STRAIN Study

Background Echocardiographic imaging assessment of left ventricular mechanics is a new technology that is offered by various vendors. Different software algorithms have at times yielded conflicting results. The aim of this study was to determine normal myocardial mechanical parameters in a healthy population using Velocity Vector Imaging. Methods One hundred twenty subjects were selected for this study, including healthy subjects referred for...
