Guidelines In Practice Webinar Series: Clinical Applications of Strain

Please join us for the 2nd webinar in our first ever Guidelines In Practice webinar series as our speakers discuss the new Clinical Applications of Strain Echocardiography guideline.

We will explore the physical principles of speckle tracking, providing a foundational understanding of how this technology is used to assess myocardial strain. Participants will learn to define and explain the normal limits for left and right ventricular, as well as left atrial strain, to ensure confidence in identifying abnormal findings.

The session will provide practical guidance on how to apply strain imaging across diverse clinical scenarios, including heart failure, cardio-oncology, valvular heart disease, and pulmonary hypertension. Finally, we will look toward the future of the field to predict upcoming developments, specifically the transformative role of artificial intelligence in echocardiography.
