Figure 5. The Regional Diastolic Strain (Stretch) by Sonomicrometry.

Figure 5

The temporal changes of the regional diastolic strain in the LV free wall (A). The regional myocardial strain (stretch) was minimized during the unloading period (B) and even attenuated at 12 weeks (C) compared with the MI only group. The different colors in the map of the regional strain in the free wall of LV indicate the different strains in the different areas. A = adjacent zone; I = infarct zone; R = remote zone. #p < 0.05 compared with sham; *p < 0.05 compared with the MI group. Abbreviations as in Figure 3.
