Abstract

Background

Myocardial strain—change in myocardial fibre length over the cardiac cycle—is a measure of cardiac muscle function. It is obtained using conventional techniques such as echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, adding additional clinical information to augment the current techniques.

Methods

A narrative review of the current relevant literature with respect to myocardial strain, with a focus on strain measured by echocardiography.

Results

Myocardial strain identifies global and regional abnormalities in myocardial function and differentiates types of cardiomyopathy. It is an earlier marker of myocardial disease than ejection fraction and is predictive of cardiovascular adverse events. Accurate measurement requires high-quality images and experienced practitioners.

Conclusion

This review explains advantages and disadvantages of myocardial strain imaging and explains why, through adding increased precision without additional burden, it should be a standard part of cardiac assessment.
