Heart failure (HF) has evolved in an epidemic manner and constitutes a major public health issue. Currently, several prognostic markers and treatment options exist to guide treatment of HF with reduced ejection fraction, but echocardiographic deformation imaging suggests novel pathophysiologic aspects that could help optimize treatment further. Even though no formal treatment options currently exist for patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, some HF medication does seem to attenuate strain measures. Speckle tracking has furthermore helped characterize this condition and to confer prognostic information. Thus, strain imaging could facilitate novel trials, and thereby hopefully introduce treatment opportunities.
心力衰竭（HF）呈流行趋势发展，是一个主要的公共卫生问题。目前，存在一些预后标志物和治疗选择来指导射血分数降低性心力衰竭的治疗，但超声心动图应变成像提示了一些新的病理生理方面，可能有助于进一步优化治疗。尽管目前射血分数保留性心力衰竭患者尚无正式的治疗选择，但一些心力衰竭药物似乎确实可以减轻应变测量值。斑点追踪技术进一步有助于对这种情况进行特征描述，并提供预后信息。因此，应变成像可以促进新的试验，从而希望为治疗提供机会。
