Myocardial Strain Imaging
Myocardial strain imaging is a heart assessment technique that evaluates how well the heart muscle is contracting and relaxing. Using specialized ultrasound or MRI technology, it measures the deformation of heart tissues during each heartbeat. This provides insights into the heart's function, revealing areas of weakness or stress that may not be visible through traditional imaging. By assessing strain, doctors can detect heart diseases earlier, monitor treatment effectiveness, and tailor patient care. Overall, it offers a deeper understanding of heart health, helping to improve diagnosis and intervention strategies.
