Figure 3. MRI-based Multiparametric Strain Z-Score Color Contour Modeling.

Figure 3

3D left ventricular strain maps obtained from all 10 dilated cardiomyopathy patients are demonstrated. The heterogeneity of the regional contractile dysfunction as it relates to the regional expected norm is well demonstrated. Areas represented by the color red have regional contractile function that deviates from the expected norm to the same degree as nonviable myocardium in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
