Normal range of myocardial layer-specific strain using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.

Newer 2D strain software has a potential to assess layer-specific strain. However, normal reference values for layer-specific strain have not been established. We aimed to establish the normal ranges of layer-specific longitudinal and circumferential strain (endocardial global longitudinal strain (G...
