Investigators at Fourth Military Medical University target left ventricular hypertrophy

Scientists discuss in 'Velocity vector imaging in assessing myocardial systolic function of hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy' new findings in left ventricular hypertrophy. In this recently published article, scientists in People's Republic of China conducted a study "To date, most studies about strain and strain rate (SR) are based on Doppler tissue imaging (DTI), which is dependent on the angle between ultrasonic scan line and tissue. Velocity vector imaging (VVI) is a new echocardiographic method based on two-dimensional gray scale imaging, which is angle-independent and can provide more information about cardiac function than DTI To assess regional myocardial SR...
