Impact of Temporal Resolution on Strain and Strain Rate (SR). The graph shows absolute strain and SR values obtained in deformation imaging in relation to temporal (20/30/40/50 frames/cardiac cycle) and spatial resolution (5, 8 and 10 mm) for healthy subjects and heart failure patients. LV/RV: left/right ventricle, GLS global longitudinal strain, GCS global circumferential strain, SR strain rate
