FIG. 7

(a) 3D end-systolic strain maps of the LV in representative WT and VclKO hearts. Transmural strain distributions are shown at the septal (S) and lateral wall (L). Endocardial strains are displayed on the posterior wall (P). The normal strain tensor components are circumferential strain (Ecc), longitudinal strain (Ell), and radial strain (Err). (b) The shear strain tensor components are torsional shear (Ecl), and the transverse shears (Ecr, Elr).
