Proven Technology to Improve Clinical Practice: EchoInsight with Strain Imaging
Recent supportive research using EchoInsight including:
Relative apical LS ratio (RALSR) may be associated with LV systolic functional recovery in Tachyarrhythmia patients with reduced EF. This information might be useful for clinical evaluation and follow-up in patients with reduced LVEF.
Cardiac amyloidosis may involve all cardiac chambers, and thus, chamber-specific strain analysis may be useful to assess the total cumulative burden of cardiac dysfunction. Four-chamber strain analysis enables further risk stratification in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
EchoInsight’s semi-automated technique for cardiac function measurements including LV volumes, EF and GLS are fast and comparable to conventional measurements, even when performed by less experienced readers. This technique has the potential to facilitate the workflow in a busy echo lab and allow routine use of LV volumes and GLS in the every-day practice.
