The use of implantable devices to treat arrhythmias started with the implantable pacemaker back in the late 1950s. The risks and costs of implantation limited the indications for the procedure initially. A similar pattern was seen with the initial implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in the early 1980s. In the late 1990s, technology of both these devices focused on the management of… View more

Tissue Doppler-based measurements of myocardial strain are possible and accurate for structures that move along the ultrasound beam, but are underestimated in other directions and even impossible for angles close to 90º. To overcome these limitations, the speckle tracking technique was introduced in 2004, offering a more user-friendly workflow and better reproducibility.1 This echocardiographic… View more
