Is myocardial fibrosis appropriately assessed by calibrated and 2D strain derived integrated backscatter?

Is myocardial fibrosis appropriately assessed by calibrated and 2D strain derived integrated backscatter?

Abstract Aims Increased collagen content of the myocardium modifies tissue reflectivity and integrated backscatter (IBS) indexes are suggested as markers of myocardial fibrosis (MF). We sought to assess the correlation between calibrated (c) IBS and bidimensional (2D) strain derived IBS with left ve...
