The impact of preload on 3-dimensional deformation parameters: principal strain, twist and torsion

Abstract Background Strain analysis is feasible using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography. This approach provides various parameters based on speckle tracking analysis from one full-volume image of the left ventricle; however, evidence for its volume independence is still lacking. Methods Fifty-...
