Abstract
Since its inception, strain imaging in echocardiography has demonstrated significant improvement in technology and has established itself as a sensitive biomarker for assessing cardiac function. Recently, many studies began using strain parameters as reproducible and robust endpoints. Emerging technologies and fields, including three-dimensional strain, principal strain analysis, fusion imaging, and machine learning, are further reinforcing its usefulness. Additionally, in future research, such as trials in silico and tissue engineering, strain imaging will play an important role in therapeutic evaluation. In this chapter, we discuss the newly evolving applications of strain imaging and its potential impact in clinical cardiology.
