Myocardial Contraction Fraction: A Volumetric Measure of Myocardial Shortening Analogous to Strain.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018 Stokke et al. [(1)][1] showed that despite reduced longitudinal and circumferential strain, ejection fraction is maintained by geometric factors, which prompted the editorialists to note, “although strain is emerging as the more optimal marker for LV systolic function, there seems to be no way ...

Myocardial contraction-relaxation coupling.
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2010 Since the pioneering work of Henry Pickering Bowditch in the late 1800s to early 1900s, cardiac muscle contraction has remained an intensely studied topic for several reasons. The heart is located centrally in our body, and its pumping motion demands the attention of the observer.

Left ventricle ejection fraction and strain derived by three-dimensional echocardiography are associated with exercise capacity in the patients with heart failure [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019 Background/Aim. Echocardiography represents the most commonly performed noninvasive cardiac imaging tests for the patients with heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the exercise capacity parameters [peak oxygen
