Use of the Speckle tracking method for determining global parameters of heart contractility in healthy individuals

The speckle tracking method allows one to quantify the temporal and spatial characteristics of myocardial contraction. Importantly, it does not depend on a scanning angle and allows one to record the movement of speckles in 2D mode in any direction, unlike tissue Doppler imaging. This examination is...
