- Three-dimensional mapping of mechanical activation patterns, contractile dyssynchrony and dyscoordination by two-dimensional strain echocardiography: Rationale and design of a novel software toolbox. De Boeck, Bart W. L.; Kirn, Borut; Teske, Arco J.; Hummeling, Ralph W.; Doevendans, Pieter A.; Cramer, Maarten J.; Prinzen, Frits W. // Cardiovascular Ultrasound;2008, Vol. 6, Special section p1
Background: Dyssynchrony of myocardial deformation is usually described in terms of variability only (e.g. standard deviations SD's). A description in terms of the spatio-temporal distribution pattern (vector-analysis) of dyssynchrony or by indices estimating its impact by expressing...
