At the end of this session, the participant will be able to: • Understand the practical aspects of performing 2D strain imaging • Review the specific 2D strain online and offline echo analysis packages. • Demonstrate in a small group setting how to optimally use the 2D strain analysis in clinical applications such as follow-up of cancer chemotherapy patients and cardiomyopathies. And to evaluate the suitability of acquired two-dimensional images for strain assessment of left heart structures (LV/LA) and to how to perform longitudinal strain while avoiding pitfalls
