Aims To determine whether Doppler based myocardial tissue velocity imaging (TVI) or strain rate imaging (SRI) is more accurate in detecting stress-induced ischaemia during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). Methods and results Regional myocardial velocity, displacement, strain rate and strain...
