ObjectivesTwo-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a new angle-independent ultrasound technique based on tracking of speckles within the myocardium on 2D grayscale images. The aims of this prospective study were as follows: (1) to assess the variability of left ventricular peak systolic radial strain (St) and strain rate (SR) in awake dogs using STE (Protocol 1); and (2) to quantify these variables in a healthy canine population and compare them with tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-based St and SR values (Protocol 2).BackgroundSt and SR may be assessed using TDI, which is limited by angle dependency.Animals, materials and methodsThirty-six STE examinations were performed on 6 healthy dogs for Protocol 1 and 37 healthy dogs were recruited for Protocol 2. In both studies, STE measurements were obtained offline from the right parasternal short-axis view by the same trained observer using automatic frame-to-frame tracking of grayscale speckle patterns.ResultsAll within- and between-day coefficients of variation were <10% (Protocol 1). In Protocol 2, St (46.7 ± 12.2%) and SR (2.7 ± 0.6 s−1) measured by STE were correlated with heart rate (p < 0.01), but not with the ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to early mitral annular velocity. There was a good correlation between STE and TDI for both St and SR values (p < 0.001).ConclusionsSTE is a repeatable and reproducible non-Doppler method for assessing radial St and SR. The combination of these indices with conventional echo-Doppler variables could provide a new approach for accurately quantifying canine systolic function. 相似文献

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a new echocardiographic method for analyzing global as well as segmental myocardial function. The purpose of this paper is to introduce readers to the techniques of TDI with specific attention to the utility of TDI in the evaluation of ventricular synchronization. 相似文献
