3D ultrasound shear wave elastography quantifies myocardial stiffness and anisotropy in the human heart

Abstract Myocardial stiffness (MS) is a key property of diastolic cardiac function which is altered in various cardiomyopathies. Its quantitative evaluation remains challenging due to the myocardium's complex anisotropic fiber architecture and dynamic contraction. We developed a...
