ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method includes determining, in vivo, position, displacement and/or spatial time derivatives of myocardial tissue. Such determinations are optionally made with respect to systolic and/or diastolic cycles. Further, position, displacement and/or spatial time derivatives may be used in cardiac diagnosis or therapy. Other exemplary methods, devices and/or systems are also disclosed.
