Figure 2.
Relationship between peak strain indices and standard CMR measures of ventricular size and function. (A) GCS correlated with ejection fraction in similar manner for both SLV and SRV groups with higher dEF/dGCS or steeper slope for SRV group. (B) GLS was associated with EF for both SLV and SRV groups but to a lesser degree than GCS, again with higher dEF/dGCS in SRV patients. (C) GCS was not associated with EDVi in SLV group but lower GCS values were associated with higher EDVi in SRV group. (D) Similarly, GLS was not associated with EDVi in SLV group, but reduced GLS was associated with higher EDVi in SRV patients. (E) GCS was associated with ESVi in both SLV and SRV groups with higher dESVi/dGCS in SRV group. (F) GLS did not reveal any relationship with ESVi in SLV group but showed a significant relationship in SRV group.
