摘要

While there is a plethora of parameters that can be derived from myocardial deformation imaging, it was felt that the committee's work would have to be focused initially on global longitudinal strain (GLS) derived from 2D echocardiographic speckle tracking, with which there is the most clinical experience. While recognizingthe importance of circumferential, radial, and torsional strain components as well as regional strain, systolic and diastolic strain rate, and deformation indices derived from tissue Doppler and 3D echo, addressing these issues will await success in GLS standardization.
