Feasibility and correlation of standard 2D speckle tracking echocardiography and automated function imaging derived parameters of left ventricular function during dobutamine stress test.

The comparison of regional deformation parameters measured in subsequent left ventricular segments indicated highly significant linear relationship of values from both methods ( p < 0.0001), although correlation coefficients for measurements performed at baseline were slightly higher than during peak stage of dobutamine test.
