Publications of Faculty of Medicine:EVALUATION OF LONG-AXES MYOCARDIAL FUNCTION WITH 2D STRAIN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT CORONARY ARTERY STENOS'S: Abstract

myocardial ischemia or infarction is usually assessed with 2-D echocardiography by detecting the segmental wall motion abnormalities. • With the introduction of color Doppler myocardial imaging (CDMI), it is currently possible to noninvasively quantify in-plane myocardial deformation (regional strain).
