Cardiac Elastography With External Vibration for Quantification of Diastolic Myocardial Stiffness
Cardiac THE detects abnormal myocardial stiffness in patients with DD with high penetration depth, independent of body mass index and region selection. Based on standard ultrasound components, cardiac THE is cost-effective and has the potential to become a point-of-care method for stiffness-sensitive echocardiography.
