The present clinical case shows that assessment of longitudinal strain in the coronary care unit using speckle tracking echocardiography can help to quantify myocardial damage in the context of acute coronary syndromes and detect changes otherwise not visible with semi-quantitative evaluation of wall motion.

Abstract
The present clinical case shows that assessment of longitudinal strain in the coronary care unit using speckle tracking echocardiography can help to quantify myocardial damage in the context of acute coronary syndromes and detect changes otherwise not visible with semi-quantitative evaluation of wall motion.File in questo prodotto:
