Background: Currently, two echocardiographic techniques are used to measure deformation: tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Recently, a technique combining STE and TDI (on TDI overlay images) has become available, allowing derivation of STE/TDI results from a single acquisition/reading (combined-STE/combined-TDI). We tested the feasibility and agreement of this novel technique to measure left ventricular deformation in the general population compared to STE and TDI. Methods: We examined a subsample of 106 consecutive subjects of the Asklepios Study, a population-based random sample of male/female volunteers without overt clinical disease (mean age: 55.9 years). Left ventricular deformation measurements were assessed with transthoracic echocardiography using the combined method, STE and TDI. Results: Almost all deformation parameters significantly differed between all methods. Global systolic longitudinal strain (GS) and strain rate (GSRs) values measured by combined-TDI were significantly higher (GS -17.2% ± 3.0, GSRs -0.9 s -1 ± 0.2) compared to TDI (GS -21.1% ± 2.2, GSRs -1.3 s -1 ± 0.2). Measurements by combined-STE were significantly lower (GS -19.1% ± 2.9, GSRs -1.0 s -1 ± 0.2) compared to STE (GS -18.2% ± 3.0, GSRs -0.9 s -1 ± 0.1). Overall, the smallest differences and highest agreement were observed between STE and combined-STE (GS r = 0.84, p < .001; GSRs r = 0.70, p < .001). Conclusions: The comparison of methods showed different values and poor agreement between the echocardiographic modalities. Regrettably, the combined method does not make it possible to obtain in a single image/measurement results that are comparable to STE and TDI data in the general population. |
