Myocardial motion in acute ischemia: revealing invisible deformation by echocardiography

This article reviews the features of myocardial motion during acute ischemia, the mechanisms of ESL and PSS, the diagnosis of ischemic myocardium using strain analysis, and current approaches and future challenges to overcome the limitations in the detection of relative hypokinesis. This article also explains the use of ESL and PSS to detect myocardial ischemic memory that remains after brief ischemia.
