To compensate for this, we developed a stratified care computerized clinical decision support system for general practice based on patient biopsychosocial phenotypes; furthermore, we added personalized treatment recommendations based on specific patient factors to the system.

Strain rate imaging by tissue Doppler (TDI) is vulnerable to stationary reverberations and noise (clutter). Anatomic Doppler spectrum (ADS) presents retrospective spectral Doppler from ultra-high frame rate imaging (UFR-TDI) data for a region of interest, that is, ventricular wall or segment, at one time instance. This enables spectral assessment of strain rate (SR) without the influence of clutter.
