Time course of finite strains during early relaxation in fiber-sheet coordinates. Note significant epicardial stretch along the fiber direction (Eff), endocardial sheet shortening (Ess), and fiber shear (Efs, Efn) during early relaxation (P < 0.05). Values are means ± SE. Note different scales for each strain.
