myocardial strain

Introduction

Introduction Myocardial strain refers to excessive work of the myocardium under high load for a long time, such as obesity, high blood pressure, stressful work stress and other factors, leading to myocardial damage. At this time, the myocardium may be ischemic, and the blood supply may be normal. If diagnosed myocardial ischemia, long-term development may lead to coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiac insufficiency, heart failure and so on.

Cause

Cause

It is caused by coronary heart disease or angina pectoris.

Examine

an examination

Related inspection

Dynamic electrocardiogram (Holter monitoring) ECG

An electrocardiogram can be performed.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

It can be differentiated from myocardial ischemia.

Myocardial ischemia refers to a clinical state in which coronary blood flow is reduced by various causes, resulting in insufficient supply of myocardial oxygen and the like and reduced clearance of metabolites. Most heart diseases can cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia.
