Popis: Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) is a relatively new method for cardiac function evaluation. In the current study, STE was used to investigate the timing of heart-induced mostly subaudible (i.e., below the frequency limit of human hearing) chest-wall vibrations in relation to the longitudinal myocardial strain. Such an approach may help elucidate the genesis of these vibrations, thereby improving their diagnostic value.
