MyoStrain® Provides Comprehensive Assessment of Myocardial Deformation to Help Physicians Risk-Stratify Heart Failure Patients for Individualized Cardiac Treatment
MyoStrain provided a uniquely sensitive and reproducible measure of segmental heart function to help physicians quantify differences in heart failure patients and risk-stratify patient populations based on the individual extent and severity of dysfunction
MORRISVILLE, N.C., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A new article published in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Heart Failure Journal demonstrated MyoStrain's ability to accurately detect and delineate patterns of myocardial dysfunction between heart failure (HF) types and severity.
Sebastian Kelle, MD, PhD, FSCMR, Head of Cardiac Imaging at the Berlin Center and the study's primary investigator, commented: "The study highlights the importance of using both longitudinal and circumferential strain to assess myocardial deformation in cardiac patients. This makes MyoStrain a critical tool for physicians to evaluate cardiac patients, as it uses both of these metrics in a single MyoHealth™ risk score. This information may help to guide individualized treatment decisions and potentially mitigate future dysfunction progression by monitoring the functional effects of treatment on the heart over time."
