Reproducibility of regional and global longitudinal strains derived from two-dimensional speckle-tracking and Doppler tissue imaging between expert and novice readers during quantitative dobutamine stress echocardiography

Background: Longitudinal strain (LS) is a quantitative parameter that adds incremental value to wall motion analysis. The aim of this study was to compare the reproducibility of LS derived from Doppler tissue imaging and speckle-tracking between an expert and a novice strain reader during dobutamine...
