Figure Lengend Snippet: Echocardiographic images of an 8‐year‐old Australian Shepherd suffering from moderate precapillary pulmonary hypertension. (A) Right parasternal long axis 4 chamber view with a severely dilated right heart. (B) Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion by M‐Mode measurements. (C) Tracing of the right ventricular (RV) endocardial border using speckle‐tracking echocardiography. (D) The software generates strain curves of all 6 segments, here illustrated free wall RV longitudinal strain displaying a decreased RV function. (E) A 3D dynamic RV model including complete RV volume generated by the software
Article Snippet: Two‐dimensional strain measurements, expressing myocardial deformation, by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) also were obtained using TomTec software (RV 2D cardiac performance analysis, Image Arena; Munich, Germany)., For 2D strain measurement imaging, frame rates from 65 to 181 Hz were used.
