Figure 1. Changes in global and regional contractile function in an experimental model of pressure overload.

Figure 1

The schematic of the experimental design is shown (A). Global peak longitudinal strain (endocardial) in the sham and aortic constricted animals at 1 week before randomization (B) and in the AAC and de-AAC animals at 7 weeks (C). Basal peak longitudinal strain (endocardial) in the sham and aortic constricted animals at 1 week (D) and in the AAC and de-AAC animals at 7 weeks (E). Apical peak longitudinal strain changes were similar to global peak longitudinal strain changes observed at 1 and 7 weeks (F and G).
