Application of speckle tracking imaging in diagnosis of ischemic heart disease

Abstract

In recent years, the incidence of ischemic heart disease(IHD) has gradually increased. Speckle tracking imaging(STI) can overcome the limitation of angle dependence of traditional Doppler tissue imaging(DTI), and identify the incoordination of local or global myocardial movement or the decline of cardiac function in the early stage of the disease. Early intervention and early treatment can significantly improve the prognosis. In addition, the STI can also observe the clinical therapeutic effect of the disease and support the prediction of prognosis.
