Different layers of myocardium may contribute differently to myocardial deformation. Speckle tracking based on high resolution two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography has been used to define myocardial deformation parameters of whole left ventricular (LV) segments. This study evaluated with a Novell analysis modality allowing layer-specific analysis of deformation if there are differences in myocardial deformation between different layers of myocardium.
