Abstract Background The use of speckle-tracking echocardiography for evaluation of cardiac function has great applicability in different scenarios. The broad use of this method requires tools that allow the extraction of relevant data from strain curves and inclusion of these data in traditionally used parameters. Objectives The present study aimed to present and validate a free software, called D-station, for analysis of strain curves. Methods From raw data files, the D-Station determines the phases of the cardiac cycle, and simultaneously […]
