Which factors influence the heart's function?

It is discussed that speckle tracking allows us to predict certain outcomes and thus make better decisions in our clinical routine. In this clip, our experts discuss the implications for mitral regurgitation.

Rheumatic heart disease can not only lead to mitral stenosis but also to some other pathologies in your patient - so in this video, Prof. Thomas Binder, MD shows you where to guide your attention.

2D echocardiography can be used to assess regional wall motion abnormalities, but speckle tracking allows you do so on a whole other level - watch this short clip to find out why we are so excited about this technology.

Scarring is a common finding for the echocardiographer, but would you recognise a myocardial scar in the bullseye display? Watch this video to not misinterpret your findings from speckle tracking.

In this short clip, we discuss the adaptive mechanisms of the right heart after pulmonary embolism, when some part of the vascular bed is still obstructed.
