Specialty Analysis - Strain Rate Imaging

1.  Diastolic strain rate may be used as an additional surrogate of ventricular fibrosis and segmental relaxation abnormalities.
2.  By providing insight into regional diastolic function, segmental diastolic strain rate can readily uncover the presence and extent of regional ischemia and viability.
