Strain imaging, also referred to as speckle-tracking echocardiography or STE, is a rapidly advancing, cost-effective, and versatile cardiac imaging technique that holds immense interest for clinicians across both inpatient and outpatient settings. ASE's Comprehensive Strain Imaging is the first comprehensive reference designed to assist practitioners in mastering a wide array of strain imaging/STE applications, encompassing screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Authored and edited by a team of international experts from the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), this new resource offers the essential information required to optimize imaging acquisition and analysis using this groundbreaking echocardiography method.

The book comprehensively covers step-by-step techniques for utilizing strain imaging, accompanied by expert tips on nuances, pitfalls, and clinical decision-making. It delves into the expanding range of strain imaging applications for assessing diastolic function, atrial function, heart failure, arterial disease, valve disease, hypertrophy, and various common cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, it provides up-to-date information on screening and follow-up of patients receiving cardio-toxic oncologic agents during cancer treatment, as well as evaluation of patients with cardiomyopathy, heart failure, arterial disease, valve disease, implantable pacemakers, pericardial disease, hypertrophy, ischemic disease, and chest radiation.

In addition to the extensive text, the book includes over 150 images utilizing the latest strain imaging technology, along with videos depicting the evaluation and monitoring of patients with cardiomyopathies. It also addresses future applications, such as elastography. An enhanced eBook version is included with the purchase, allowing readers to access all the text, figures, and references from the book on various devices.
