Speckle tracking echocardiography is a recently developed technique for the characterization and quantification of myocardial deformation. By allowing measurement of the different components of myocardial deformation, it provides information about its physiology of contraction and relaxation. Among all the strain parameters, longitudinal strain is more reproducible than the radial and circumferential strain and rotation. The analysis of numerous sources of scientific literature dedicated to the diagnostic possibilities of this technique for ischemic heart disease is reflected in our work.
