Speckle tracking echocardiography is integrated into echocardiographic systems for automated evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function by means of Automated Function Imaging (AFI). This study aimed at evaluating role of strain imaging [AFI & Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI)] in predicting post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) LV function recovery.

Use of Strain Imaging to Predict Myocardial Function Recovery after Percutaneous Revascularization of Infarct Related Artery
Background: Speckle tracking echocardiography is integrated into echocardiographic systems for automated evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function by means of Automated Function Imaging (AFI). This study aimed at evaluating role of strain imaging [AFI & Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI)] in predicting post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) LV function recovery.
