{wiki=Strain_rate_imaging}
Strain rate imaging is an advanced ultrasound technique used primarily in the assessment of myocardial function. It involves measuring the deformation of tissue over time, allowing for the evaluation of how quickly and effectively the myocardial fibers are contracting and relaxing. This technique provides valuable insights into cardiac mechanics, which can be useful in diagnosing conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, and other cardiac conditions.
