Journal of The American Society of Echocardiography, 07/02/09
Gjesdal O et al. - Longitudinal deformation by global strain or MA displacement correlated well with myocardial infarct mass and could discriminate between different extents of myocardial infarctions. Global longitudinal strain tended to be better, especially for the identification of the smallest infarcts.
