Complexity of the cardiac contraction sequence is still not fully understood because the dynamic mechanical excitation process, which directly correlates with contraction, cannot be accurately measured based on the electro-magnetic phenomena. By developing a noninvasive novel imaging modality with high temporal and spatial resolutions, the present study shows that the propagation of the mechanical wave-front occurs at the beginning of cardiac contraction sequence for the first time (about 60 ms prior to the ordinarily accepted onset time of the contraction). From the apical side of the interventricular septum, a minute velocity component with an amplitude of several tenth micrometers is generated and it propagates from the apex to the base of the posterior wall, and then from the base to the apex of the septum, with a propagation speed of 3-9 m/s. This dynamic measurement modality is also applicable to various tissues in biology.

心脏收缩序列的复杂性仍然没有被完全理解，因为与收缩直接相关的动态机械激励过程不能基于电磁现象精确地测量。通过开发一种具有高时间和空间分辨率的非侵入性新型成像模式，本研究表明，机械波阵面的传播发生在心脏收缩序列的开始第一次（约60 ms之前，通常接受的收缩开始时间）。从室间隔的顶侧，产生振幅为几十微米的微小速度分量，并且其从后壁的顶点传播到基部，然后从基部传播到间隔的顶点，传播速度为3-9 m/s。这种动态测量模式也适用于生物学中的各种组织。
