strain_elsd: Earliest-to-latest segment delay

Description Usage Arguments Details

View source: R/strain_elsd.R

Description

Time delay between earliest and latest contracting left ventricular wall segments

Usage

1
strain_elsd(data, subset_pattern = NULL)

Arguments

data

Dataframe, columns containing strainvalues from LV wall segments according to the AHA-17 segment model.

subset_pattern

Regex pattern for subsetting over which columns to perform analysis.

Details

Non-uniform contraction of the left ventricular wall can be quantified by means of dyssynchrony analysis. It is known that in case of left bundle branch block, the septum normally contracts before the lateral free wall. However, this is not always the case and therefore measureing the delay between earliest and latest segment, independent of location might better characterize the pattern of dyssynchrony.
