"10 Good Reasons to Use MyoStrain" by Dr. Henning Steen, Marien Hospital

TAMPA, F.L., OCTOBER 16, 2018 – Dr. Henning Steen (Marien Hospital; Hamburg, Germany) presented his “10 Good Reasons to Use MyoStrain® at the Global Cardio-Oncology Summit 2018 in Tampa, Florida on September 27th. Dr. Steen has used Myocardial Solutions’ MyoStrain technology for cardiac MR (“CMR”) strain imaging in multiple clinical studies at Marien Hospital, demonstrating MyoStrain’s speed, ease, accuracy and clinical efficacy. Dr. Steen is one of the foremost authorities on CMR in Europe.

10 Good Reasons to Use MyoStrain – A Personal View

By: Dr. Henning Steen

1. Good reproducibility

2. Excellent applicability (100% in our study)

3. Not only 1 global but also 16 segmental longitudinal strains

4. Circumferential strain! (1 global and 21 segmental!)

5. Fast scan times (12min, high volume patient technique)

6. Simple CMR protocol

7. Very sensitive to myocardial deformation changes

8. Short breath-holds, no contrast agents, no IV, no Doctor?

9. “Arrhythmia independent” (1RR interval per plane acquisition)

10. Vendor independent (Siemens, Philips, GE with similar results)
