Regional Longitudinal Strain Comparison between Men and Women. Longitudinal strain means (with standard deviation bars) of men and women are demonstrated. Adjusted p-values are as follows: Posteroseptal, p = .500 Anteroseptal, p = .237; Anterior, p = .004; Anterolateral, p = .005; Posterolateral, p = .006; Posterior, p = .041; Full LV, p = .007. Significant differences in longitudinal strain between the sexes were found globally and in the anterior, anterolateral and posterolateral walls.
