This editorial refers to ‘Feasibility and reproducibility of left ventricular rotation parameters measured by speckle tracking echocardiography’ by Bas M. van Dalen et al., pp. 669–76, ‘Interpretation of two-dimensional and tissue Doppler-derived strain (1) and strain rate data: is there a need to normalize for individual variability in left ventricular morphology?’ by David Oxborough et al., pp. 677–82, and ‘Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular untwist rate: comparison of tissue Doppler and speckle tracking methodologies’ by V. Ferferieva et al., pp. 683–90, in this issue.

Echocardiography is in the midst of revolution. Its cause is the emergence of the new techniques to quantify segmental systolic and diastolic function. However, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
