It is a cardiac imaging assessment used most often during echocardiography and sometimes with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). It describes myocardial function beyond left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). It is commonly used in heart failure, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease, and cardio-oncology follow-up."}
