Myocardial deformation imaging and rare cardiomyopathies with hypertrophic phenotype: a review focused on Fabry disease, Friedreich ataxia and amyloidosis

Tissue Doppler and deformation imaging, including Doppler-derived strain and speckle tracking, have significantly improved our understanding of cardiac mechanics in both physiological and pathological states. The various modes of left ventricular deformation (longitudinal, circumferential, radial an...
