MyoStrain® Provides Comprehensive Assessment of Myocardial Deformation to Help Physicians Risk-Stratify Heart Failure Patients for Individualized Cardiac Treatment
[ 1 ]\nSebastian 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.
