Uniqueness of local myocardial strain patterns with respect to activation time and contractility of the failing heart: a computational study

Uniqueness of local myocardial strain patterns with respect to activation time and contractility of the failing heart: a computational study

Abstract Background Myocardial deformation measured by strain is used to detect electro-mechanical abnormalities in cardiac tissue. Estimation of myocardial properties from regional strain patterns when multiple pathologies are present is therefore a promising application of computer modelling. Howe...
