Figure 8

a,b: Plots correlating the evolution of myocardial longitudinal strain (marked on the right axis) and longitudinal blood velocity (marked on the left axis) in a normal volunteer (a) and a pig with ischemic mitral regurgitation (b). In a, curves 1 and 2 correspond to the average aortic outflow and mitral inflow velocities respectively computed over rectangular regions of interest marked in Figures 6-8, while curves 3 and 4 correspond to the average septal and lateral longitudinal strains, respectively. In b, curves 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the average aortic outflow, ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) jet flow, and mitral inflow velocities respectively computed over rectangular regions of interest marked in Figures 7-4, while curves 4 and 5 correspond to the average lateral and septal longitudinal strains, respectively.
