Abstract

There are two major functional applications for speckle tracked strain used in the study of cardiac function: global and regional. This chapter is about regional functional strain assessment. The basics of ultrasound speckle tracking and strain are discussed in detail elsewhere in this volume and this current chapter assumes a familiarity with these principles.
