Systolic longitudinal strain correlates with visual assessment of regional left ventricular function during dobutamine stress echocardiography and discriminates the segments with induced contractility impairment.

Strain analysis quantifies segmental LV contractility not only at rest and peak DSE but may be helpful in detection of stress-induced contractility worsening.
