Providing a truly accessible forum for both authors and readers by encouraging opinion, debate and discussion, Cardiovascular Ultrasound is a community-focussed journal which publishes progressive research on the most current, clinically and biologically relevant issues in the field of ultrasound of the heart and vessels. The journal encompasses topics ranging from biology, engineering, clinical echocardiography, to elaborate and/or unusual diagnostics. As well as providing expert opinions on new techniques and technologies, the use of data, images and videos engage a visual dimension to published articles.

Background The association of a Classical left bundle branch block (LBBB) contraction pattern and better outcome after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has only been studied using vendor-specific software for echocardiographic speckle-tracked longitudinal strain analysis. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a Classical LBBB contraction pattern on longitudinal strain analysis using...

Background Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) enables objective assessment of left atrial (LA) deformation through the analysis of myocardial strain, which can be measured by different speckle-tracking software. The aim of this study was to compare the consistency of 3 different commercially available software, which include vendor-specific software for measuring left ventricle...

Echocardiography is the most commonly applied technique for non-invasive assessment of cardiac function in small animals. Manual tracing of endocardial borders is time consuming and varies with operator experience. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate a novel automated two-dimensional software algorithm (Auto2DE) for small animals and compare it to the standard use of manual 2D-echocardiographic assessment...
