Normal strain-time curves for healthy mice measured by 3D cine DENSE. Normal strain-time curves for healthy mice measured by 3D cine DENSE. The average Err, Ecc, and Ell values for the 7 mice studied are plotted as a function of cardiac phase. Furthermore, separate curves are shown for the subendocardial and subepicardial layers. A statistically significant difference in Ecc between the two layers was detected (B). No significant differences between layers were found for Err and Ell, although both of these strains showed consistent trends towards larger absolute values in the subendo- vs. subepicardium. Data are plotted as mean ± standard error.
