Myocardial Radial Strain in Early Diastole is Useful for Assessing Left Ventricular Early Diastolic Function: Comparison with Invasive Parameters

Peak myocardial radial strain during early diastole could be used to evaluate LV early diastolic function. Myocardial strain imaging is a promising noninvasive tool for assessing LV function in systole and early diastole.
