CARDIAC REGIONAL STRAIN EVALUATION FOR HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY USING 4D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Strain analysis is essential for evaluating the progress of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Four-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (4D-STE) has shown to be a superior method in strain evaluation when compared to tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and two-dimensional speckle-tracking
