Local myocardial stiffness variations identified by high frame rate shear wave echocardiography
Abstract Background Shear waves are generated by the closure of the heart valves. Significant differences in shear wave velocity have been found recently between normal myocardium and disease models of diffusely increased muscle stiffness. In this study we correlate in vivo myocardial shear wave ima...
