What are normal values for RV strain?

In this short clip, Jens Uwe Voigt explains how force in the heart is generated, what role the sarcomeres play, and how we can use this knowledge to derive parameters such as strain, stress and strain rate.

Although current guidelines do not incorporate it yet, there is data about the value of LV strain for the timing of aortic valve surgery - watch it here!

In this video, we discuss how you can use speckle tracking and strain curves in stress echocardiography to assess coronary artery disease.
