Meanings of myocardial deformation in English

However, myocardial deformation of the apical segments, as well as apical rotation, and LV torsion are reduced.

Three-dimensional (3D) strain maps of the myocardium provide a coordinate-system-independent quantification of myocardial deformation and kinematics.

LV myocardial deformation was significantly decreased in MI patients compared to controls and closely related to the infarct size.

Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a reproducible technique used to assess myocardial deformation at both segmental and global levels.

Newer imaging techniques, especially speckle-tracking-derived myocardial deformation imaging, have provided new insights into the effect of systemic hypertension on this previously neglected cardiac chamber.

Background: Congenital heart defects such as coarctation or valvular aortic stenosis are followed by changes in left ventricular myocardial deformation mechanics induced by pressure overload.

Myocardial deformation analyses (ventricular strain) of patients with mild CKD have recently been reported to predict adverse clinical outcome.
