Non-invasive Myocardial Shear Wave Elastography Device for Clinical Applications in Cardiology

Conclusion This study presented a new device to evaluate non-invasively myocardial stiffness using an ultrafast ultrasound scanner in a clinical setting. The in-vivo, non-invasive and clinical feasibility was demonstrated showing the potential of the device to evaluate myocardial stiffness accurately up to 25 KPa and for myocardial wall thickness superior to 5-mm.
