Effects of peak systolic strain on stroke volume. Stroke volume remains constant as end-diastolic wall thickness increases. Reducing longitudinal strain resulted in a fall in stroke volume. A relatively greater reduction in stroke volume occurs when midwall circumferential strain is reduced compared with longitudinal strain.
