| Popis: | The article ‘Assessment of left ventricular systolic function by vector velocity imaging’ by Narayanan et al1 was read with enthusiasm. The authors have studied 49 patients (mentioned only in the abstract). The authors' introduction to the relatively new technique of vector velocity imaging (VVI) falls short of expectation for an average reader. One may get the impression that VVI is mainly used to calculate the ejection fraction (EF), whereas its mainstay is objective quantification of multidirectional components of left ventricular (LV) deformation and fairly accurate assessment of regional and global function by various parameters like strain, strain rate, and twist characteristics. |
