Accuracy of speckle tracking in the context of stress echocardiography in short axis view: An in vitro validation study.

This study aimed to test the accuracy of a speckle tracking algorithm to assess myocardial deformation in a large range of heart rates and strain magnitudes compared to sonomicrometry.Using a tissue-mimicking phantom with cyclic radial deformation, radial strain derived from speckle tracking (RS-SpT...
